There is the following code:

  (with-timeout (10)
    (with-temp-buffer
      (when (zerop (call-process tramp-adb-program nil t nil "devices"))
      ...

No problem under GNU/Linux. Under MS Windows, the timeout does not
interrupt the `call-process' form, when it is overdued. That's why I
have replaced it with a `start-process' implementation.

Best regards, Michael.
