Apparently this works a little better: it does not freeze on the colon
typing, but when I try to open a file the minibuffer keeps saying
"Waiting for prompts from remote shell..." and the connection is not
established. This happens both with remote users that have zsh or sh
as login shells.
The only difference is that with sh as default shell, the minibuffer
says "Tramp: Found remote shell prompt on miguel" (miguel being the
remote host) and nothing happens, no connection is made.
I've inspected connections from the remote host point of view, and
there is no ssh connection reported by netstat.
