Yes. According to my tests, the problem happens when you apply rgrep (loooong parameter list of find), and Tramp uses on the remote side ksh. For other shells like zsh or bash I haven't seen any problem. However, Tramp does not care about the remote shell, and starts to insert "\\\n" every 500 bytes of the command line, looking for the next space there. Using rgrep for tests shall be sufficient, I believe. Best regrads, Michael.
