I never byte-compile any files while testing buggy packages (and I am not 
aware tramp gets distributed with .elc-files), but I made the mistake not 
to be aware that on the machine I was sitting at I still had installed v. 
2.0.12.  I've now installed v. 2.0.14 and installed the modified defun 
tramp-action-password from your previous message.  I now get an entirely 
different error message:  "Args out of range: 467, 523" (values vary).

I still think testing it out yourself may save us much work (remember I 
offered to share a password with you), but I am sure you've more experience 
how to deal with such a situation.

Thanks again,

Rainer
