Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the local and remote machines are.
If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug
happen reliably, please include those. Thank you for helping kill bugs in Tramp.
Before reproducing the bug, you might apply
M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections
This allows to investigate from a clean environment. Another
useful thing to do is to put
(setq tramp-verbose 9)
in the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug. Then, include the contents of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug report.

I tried to edit `/etc/fstab' with emacs. I opened find-file minibuffer by C-x C-f (find-file) and typed `/sudo::/etc/fstab', then the error "Wrong type argument: listp".
This problem is not unique to the file, but occurs with any file and directory. I also tested ssh access via tramp and it failed too. I have no idea why such error occurs. Please help me. Thanks.
I generated debug output with tramp-verbose 6.
I changed username for some reason, but I think user has nothing to do with this problem.
