What "commands" am I giving?  All I'm trying to do is open a single
file on the remote host.

I'm entering "//fqhn:/home/<myuid>/.bash_profile".

I get different behavior using "emacs -Q".  I don't get a timeout
error, but I also don't think it even attempted to connect to the
remote box.  The editor view just opens with the given name, but it's
empty (it shouldn't be).  The "*Messages*" buffer doesn't indicate
that it ever tried to make a connection.  It also says "Use M-x
make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents".

The other frustrating issue with my full Emacs configuration is that
when I enter the second forward slash, key response vastly, and I mean
vastly, slows down. I've gone through the tramp FAQ looking for
potential performance issues, but nothing has helped.
