I guess all I mean is that we need to fix Tramp (and other file
    handlers) as well as jka-compr, because this also causes an error:

We need to fix all the file handlers that use call-process, I agree.
Fortunately there are not too many.

I agree it would be easier if we could fix this in call-process.  That
was the first direction I looked in.  However, someone pointed out why
changing the home directory "magically" in call-process just isn't
acceptable: because it would change the meaning of relative file name
arguments.  Fixing the callers is our only option.

Therefore, I ask people to start actually doing this.


Michael, could you fix Tramp and ange-ftp?
