Tramp loads files but gets stuck always until C-g pressed.....with every shell tried and prompt

[Christian Seberino]

[ I posted a related question to the Emacs list and Michael Albinus was 
kind enough to ]
[ give me some pointers there yet still problem persists, so I'd like 
see if good people   ]
[ of the Tramp list had any ideas.... ]

The following problem persists in bash and zsh with default shell prompt
including when I do emacs -q to rule out .emacs weirdness...


I can traverse remote server directories with local Emacs Tramp.
When I try to open some files it freezes with messages like the 
following...

   Tramp: Inserting 
`/ssh:address@hidden:/home/cs/Ws/philfour/mvc/views/booklist.html'...done

When I do C-g I can go to file and edit it fine.  The mystery is why it 
gets stuck
in the first place?

I'm on Ubuntu Linux 14.04.


Any help greatly appreciated.
