Subject: 30.0.50; Tramp Failed To connect with error "too long for Unix
domain socket"
--text follows this line--

After calling 'emacs -Q', and attempting to open a remote file using
'tramp' returns an error:
'
14:57:23.874236 tramp-process-actions (1) # File error: Tramp failed to
connect.  If this happens repeatedly, try
    ‘M-x tramp-cleanup-this-connection’

shell...failed
14:57:29.282797 tramp-maybe-open-connection (3) # Opening connection nil
for uc using ssh...failed
'

I am running emacs version 30.0.50 and tramp version 2.7.0-pre on a
macOS Ventura 13.4.1

I don't face this error when I attempt to use tramp on my secondary
device which runs a Ubuntu20.04. So I believe this might an issue that
is unique to macOS.

I found a similar bug in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2015-02/msg00394.html
but details on how it was resolved were a bit confusing.

Well, this is bug#19702, finally. I forgot about this problem on macOS
when I made a recent change. Fixed on the master branch (plus a comment
in order to remember next time :-)

Could you, pls, check?

No further comment, so I'm closing the bug.
