  I cannot get it to fail again with my full configuratiom -- just that
  one time (after the GZIP modifications on master but the error
  ocurred on Emacs 25.2)

  OK I can do that -- maybe adding the Emacs version to the filemame
  so that Emacs 14.2 doesn't use master's `tramp-persistency-file-name'.

  Can you explain the puropse of the `tramp-persistency-file-name'?

  What's its main advantage and under what scenarios is it more
  advantageous?  With a shred/master socket (controllmaster)?
  Controllpersist?
        What are its limitations?

        When is it best to use one?

        When should you not use one?

        Are mulyiple separate SSH connections and
        `tramp-persistency-file-name' files supported?

        Thanks.
