Hello Michael,

Could you please try the below snippet?
Evaluate it in a local and _remote_ buffer.
```
;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

(let ((.test-buffer (get-buffer-create "*test buffer*"))
      (.remote? (file-remote-p default-directory)))
  (with-current-buffer .test-buffer
    (goto-char (max-char))
    (insert "====================\n")
    (insert (if .remote? "Remote:\n" "Local :\n")))

  (make-process :file-handler t
                :connection-type 'pipe
                :name "test proc"
                :stderr .test-buffer
                :noquery t
                :command (list "echo" "Hello!")
                :filter (lambda (proc str)
                          (with-current-buffer .test-buffer
                            (goto-char (max-char))
                            (insert "test proc output: " str)))))
```

I get the below output:
```
====================
Local :

Process test proc stderr finished
test proc output: Hello!
====================
Remote:
/usr/bin/cat: /tmp/tramp.J0RZDc: No such file or directory
```

I would expect "Hello!" output from _remote_ as well. Isn't it?
It seems that the process is not executed and the output
"/usr/bin/cat: /tmp/tramp.J0RZDc: No such file or directory" is from
stderr.

Kind Regards,
Iurie
