tramp (2.0.41); Autocompletion fails with a cryptic error message.

[Chris Rodgers]

I am trying to use TRAMP and have just installed it. However, trying
to open a remote file gives the following error when trying to
TAB-compete the filename.

tramp: Found remote shell prompt.

Quit

Any help in fixing this would be much appreciated.

Attached is the output of tramp-bug.
