Well, tramp mostly works very well and its very useful.

I experience two problems with it though:

- by using ECB and TRAMP together it is possible to make Emacs hang
  very hard. 

Both are pure elisp packages, so regardless of the cause, Emacs
shouldnt hang completely. But it does. It is currently discussed on
the ECB list.

- Tramps "smb" method, which is used to communicate with Windows-boxes
  using "samba", behaves oddly. The first time you enter a dir with a
  tramp smb url, the dir is empty. You then type "g" and it refreshes
  properly.

This second problem might be related to my samba configuration, and I
havent investigated further yet. These problems happen both with the
Emacs version of tramp and the devel version drop 2.1.3.


BTW it feels like its pretty easy to make CVS Emacs hang these days,
so that hitting c-g will give you the "continue or coredump" option.

I experience it a lot with (CVS)Gnus and ECB/Tramp.

I try to run a recent CVS Emacs compiled with debug so I can attach
GDB and have a look when these things happen, but have as yet
unearthed little information about these bugs.
