This issue seems to be present in Jaunty version of emacs-snapshot. Opening new file through C-X f /sudo::/somefile hangs after inputting password for sudo with message "Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell".

Tried to apply workaround proposed by Phil Sung with following steps, but it didn't work:

$ cd /usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/lisp/net
$ sudo gunzip tramp.el.gz
Changed tramp-remote-sh for sudo command to "/bin/bash --norc" and then byte-compiled it with:
$ sudo emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile tramp.el
