texi2dvi failure for tramp-2.1.18

[Ulrich Mueller]

Hi,

building tramp-2.1.18 fails for me in "texi2dvi tramp.texi", log is
included at the end of this message. This happens with TeXLive 2009.

The failure is triggered by line 3342 of tramp.texi:

   emacsclient @trampfn{ssh, `whoami`, `hostname --fqdn`, $1}

If I remove the backquotes from that line then texi2dvi completes
without error.

Ulrich
