Same for me since a few days.  Since a few days/weeks tramp is loaded
every time a file is opened. That slows things down.  

This is 
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of 2009-10-23 on 
elegiac, modified by Debian

and this is the error message:

While I also have ido enabled here it now happens when calling
emacs-client from a shell script which in turn is called by mutt in
order to reply to an email.  Therefore I write this bug report with "jed".

Elsewhere in this thread/bug report the package emacs-goodies-el was
mentioned.  I have emacs-goodies-el installed.  My personal emacs
configuration has one tramp configuration:

 '(tramp-copy-size-limit 0 nil nil "otherwise TRAMP fails when there are no 
inline transport methods")
 
but does not "require" nor "load" tramp.  There is no file tramp.el or
similar in my private load-path.  

I'm trapped in this recursion loop since emacs loads tramp even when I
try kill-emacs.


Now I killed emacs, started a new emacs session (no problems so far)
and cut 'n paste the info it attaches to a bug report.

I don't speak elisp but would like to help you debug this bug.

Thanks for emacs,
Gregor
