I think I've spotted the problem.  In rcp-find-shell the command 'exec
/bin/ksh' is sent and then shell-prompt-pattern is waited for.  It
seems that PS1 is being exported from the initial /bin/sh.  /bin/ksh is
starting but with a ///// style prompt which does not match
shell-prompt-pattern.

rcp.el works now if I change "exec " to "PS1='$ '; exec " in
rcp-find-shell.

I guess that rcp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell will need the
same change.
