Cut'n'waste error in my example. You would need

(add-to-list 'tramp-actions-before-shell
             '(tramp-db-num-prompt-regexp tramp-action-db-num-prompt))

Also, you might consider to use own symbol names _not_ starting with
"tramp-". It is common practice to apply such prefixes only to all
symbols of a package. This is useful for later debugging.
