If not, should > the timeout be reintroduced? tramp-accept-process-output has seen several changes over the last 19 years. Some of them with collateral damages in edge cases, which needed another fix then. I'm happy it works stable now, and I'm reluctant to touch it w/o urgent need. That's why I have used the (sit-for 0.005) solution proposed by Eli, outside tramp-accept-process-output. Best regards, Michael.
