Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.50
Severity: important

Current master on RHEL 7.1.

make -C test/automated tramp-tests

This is repeatable.

(Haven't checked if that is actually the cause.)
Does not happen with emacs-24.

Yes, I have backups. :)

I have changed again the default value. Tested with remote bash, ksh and
zsh; seems to cause no harm. Could you please recheck?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.

Thanks, make check no longer clobbers my .bash_history.

(Minor point - would this file be better as .emacs.d/tramp_history?
Or maybe it's a pain to check that .emacs.d exists?)

Thanks, for checking, I'm closing the bug.

It's about the remote host. Honestly, my router in the basement doesn't
know Emacs. And there's no .emacs.d/ directory.

Best regards, Michael.
