I've checked further, there are still problems. A fix seems to be more
complex than expected, it must wait until the trunk is reopened (I fear
I could damage Tramp so close to the release).

For the time being, I have added `tramp-test31-asynchronous-requests' to
Tramp's test cases. It will fail until the bug is fixed.

Best regards, Michael.
