Hi Michael,

thank you for responding to my puzzled query!

No idea.  As I do not know what multi-hops are in this context, I would
guess my answer is no.

So, with "emacs -nw -Q" (because I have Emacs with EXWM as my window
manager), it works fine and the debug output is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

  filesystem::size: 2137079217

where account info has been obfuscated.

First of all, I don't understand why the traces are so different.  I
double checked that both instances had the same value of tramp-verbose
(set to 6).

But, secondly, obviously, there is something wrong in my
configuration.  Sigh.  I have no mention of tramp or nextcloud in my
init or custom files.  Any suggestions on what I might be setting that
could affect this?

Thank you,
eric
