openssh unix dev - Apr 2004 - SCP misses copying a file on error (possible bug?)

Could someone verify this case we found that causes a file to be missed during
copying?
Not copying a file without any error indication is a major problem.

Here is the setup to replicate the problem:

On hosta /tmp:

	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp   12054 Apr 13 07:46 do_tie_configs

	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp    7354 Apr 15 08:03 tie_setup

On hostb /tmp:

******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 bowtie   rgrusr      7600 Apr 15 08:02 save_tie_files

	cd /tmp
	scp -p hosta:/tmp/[a-z]** .

	The resulting files are:

******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rgrmas   rgrusr      5287 Apr 27 08:34 save_new_config
******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 bowtie    rgrusr      7600 Apr 15 08:02 save_tie_files

The question is why was the file "save_new_tie" not copied?
It didn't even show up in the progress report above?
It appears as if scp skips the following file after a previous file error.

Thanks - Andy

It would help if you could show the entire ls -l results after the copy.  This 
would show us the userid used on the destination system, as well as date / time 
stamps on files.

Also, a checksum to show that the file in question is different on both boxes, 
so that we can be certain that it did not get copied, since both files appear 
to have the same size and date/time shown.

Thanks,

Larry
