openssh unix dev - Jul 2001 - strange scp error on HPUX 11

Hi,
  I recently built openssh 2.9p2 on HP-UX 11 using GCC-3.0. ssh seems to
work fine, but scp gives the following error whenever I try to use it
(some names changed to protect the guilty).  It seems to treat the first
argument as a hostname no matter whether it is or not. Any
perfectly legal scp invocation gives the same error (with the
first argument as the offending hostname). Anyone else seeing this
problem?

Bizarre - can you try instumenting the colon() function in misc.c with
printfs to see if, where and why it is returning a non-zero value?
