Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Ediff two remote files using /ssh:... protocol

It seems to go over the network for everything.  At first I thought it
was the auto-refining, but I turned that off and it didn't seem to make
any difference in speed.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

OK, I've closed the bug. If you find something else in this area, it
might be worth a new bug report.

Maybe one could think about enabling/disabling vc on the fly for remote
files, but I have no real use case yet how it shall go.

Best regards, Michael.
