tramp (2.2.9-24.4); larger files give "File exists, but cannot be read" message

[Rob Newton]

Hi,

I'm trying out emacs 24.4 pre-release (24.3.90).
Tramp can display small files, but larger ones (e.g. 16kB) give this message:

---
Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell...done
Copying /scp:address@hidden:/home/robn/tmp/menuInfo.pl to /tmp/tramp.12844xJf.pl...failed
Tramp: Inserting `/scp:address@hidden:/home/robn/tmp/menuInfo.pl'...failed
File exists, but cannot be read
---

The permissions on the files tested are the same; they are all
readable.  The only difference is the size.  As I said, small ones are
fine, large ones give the error.
