+     running over tramp is displayed and the user tries to use the
+     menus.  I believe some other autorelease pool's lifetime
+     straddles this call causing a violation of autorelease pool
+     nesting.  There's no good reason to keep these here since the
+     pool will be drained some other time anyway, but removing them
+     leaves the menus sometimes not opening until the user moves their
+     mouse pointer, but that's better than a crash.
+
+     There must be something about running external processes like
+     tramp that interferes with the modal menu code.
