[msoulier]

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you
possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the
local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen
reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping kill bugs in
TRAMP.

Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in
the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the contents
of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug
report.

--bug report follows this line--

I was trying to connect to my Debian box at home via ssh. To do so, I
must enter the passcode on my ssh key to get through the gateway, and
then my local password on the box. I was prompted for none of the
above, but the first prompt was in the buffer:

Enter passphrase for key
'/home/e-smith/files/users/msoulier/.ssh/id_rsa': 

It immediately fails with the error message mentioned in the subject.

Please find a backtrace below.
