In the debug buffer, you'll find 4 sequences of base64 encoded lines. They are (in order) - Borked.pm, read by Tramp - Borked.pm, written by Tramp after your change - Unborked.pm, read by Tramp - Unborked.pm, written by Tramp after your change. I've passed all 4 strings to "mimencode -u". The first and the third as well as the second and fourth decoded files are equal; and the two pairs differ only in the cut line before the returning "1;" of your script. I've also diffed the encoded regions 1 and 3 as well as 2 and 4 - no difference. There is also no return code not equal to 0 in the debug traces - everything seems to be right ... Strange. What I've seen is that your target host runs FreeBSD 5.4, and `tramp-chunksize' is set to nil. That is surprising, because there is a known bug in sending process input to FreeBSD systems. Usually Tramp sets `tramp-chunksize' when detecting FreeBSD in order to workaround this bug; I have no idea why this didn't happen in your case. Could you, please, set `tramp-chunksize' to 500 manually, and rerun the test? And maybe you even decrease the value step by step. A comment in tramp.el says that the critical value is 624 for FreeBSD, but there might be other circumstances with you.
