Hi OpenSSH,

at least both openssh 3.5p1 and 3.6p1 give the wrong exit status 0 (zero)
for "scp", if both source and destination are "remote" and some error
happens (e.g. disk full):


        turtle tmp > scp /tmp/BIG1 /tmp/BIG2 ; echo $?
        cp: writing `/tmp/BIG2': No space left on device
        1

        turtle tmp > scp /tmp/BIG1 turtle:/tmp/BIG2 ; echo $?
        BIG1 100% |*****************************| 10601 KB    00:01
        scp: /tmp/BIG2: No space left on device
        1

        turtle tmp > scp turtle:/tmp/BIG1 /tmp/BIG2 ; echo $?
        BIG1 100% |*****************************| 10601 KB    00:01
        /tmp/BIG2: No space left on device
        1

        turtle tmp > scp turtle:/tmp/BIG1 turtle:/tmp/BIG2 ; echo $?
        scp: /tmp/BIG2: No space left on device
==>     0


        turtle tmp > ssh -V
        OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090605f


this is running on SuSE Linux 7.2.
openssh binaries have been compiled myself on a RedHat 7.1 system
using gcc-2.95.3 (built myself too).
