Starting a tunnel hangs on message "Tunneling..."

[kisp]

Hi,

I am experiencing a regression: Starting a tunnel doesn't work for me anymore after I updated.

I in the minibuffer I see the message "Tunneling..." and then emacs hangs. Interrupting and seeing the stacktrace showed me that emacs is in the function call-process within ssh-tunnels--command.

I did a git bisect and found this to be the problematic commit: https://github.com/death/ssh-tunnels/commit/d3a7402d467ac14e0ba994d540c363f29de1ae3a

I am running Arch Linux.

The relevant change in the above commit seems to be:

Changing the destination arg of call-process from nil to (list (current-buffer) t).

Hey, I am on a similar system (archlinux, recent emacs and ssh) but not noticed anything out of the ordinary. Note that current HEAD passes t for destination. The flag -f is passed to ssh so that it should daemonize (parent forks a child and exits) after authentication. Possibly you could debug the issue by using a non-temporary buffer and ssh verbosity flags to collect and view ssh output, or trying to trace the command in the terminal.
