Interesting. A Tramp co-developer (producing more code than me) also
found this problem recently. It exists in the CVS version of Emacs,
too. It's not clear to me what can be done about it. Tramp includes
a workaround (involving sleep-for I think), but of course it would be
better to fix the C code.
Do you know something about HP-UX development and could you have a
look at the Emacs code to see what's wrong? I know little C and less
HP-UX, so it's difficult for me...
