gg= This variable is "nil", both before and after a save.

gg= It does not seem to depend on file size, although they are always quite 
small.

gg= IMHO, the connection is always already open when achieving a save:
I usually open a Xemacs session, then fetch a remote file,
edit and save several times over many hours ... Don't know what the exact
duty cycle of tramp is: is it re-opening a connection after some delay 
of "non-activity" ?
