There has been some blocking in accept-process-output on Win32. No
idea where it comes from; it doesn't seem to respect parameters
SECONDS and MILLISEC under all circumstances.

I've added a with-timeout clause around, so it is double-protected
now. You shall take recent sources from Tramp CVS.

If the problem happens again for you, please send a Tramp bug report
(M-x tramp-submit-bug). It provides the necessary debug messages.

Oops, indeed. I've changed tramp-enter-password that it inhibits
tracing of tramp-read-passwd. By this, the password shouldn't occur in
the traces.
