I don't understand. Could you pls explain both test results?

- The call of sudo -u root -s -H -p P""a""s""s""w""o""r""d"": /bin/sh
  in the local shell

- Opening /sudo:: in a new Emacs session, started with "emacs -Q".

Furthermore, the attached trace still doesn't tell us what's up. And it
doesn't seem to be the full trace, starting from the beginning. Could
you pls produce another trace, but with tramp-verbose set to 10? Like

# emacs -Q -l tramp --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 10)' /sudo::

Best regards, Michael.
