problems with 1.2pre17 on solaris2.6

[Mark D. Baushke]

On Solaris2.6, I have just run into some problems where using the
1.2pre17 scp to another box with either 1.2pre16 or 1.2pre17 on it. 

The scp dies with an "Alarm Clock" problem on larger files (the
failure case file is a 1297920 byte solaris package.). It does not
always die in the same place.

openssh-1.2pre17-spa  51% |**************               | qd    00:00 ETAAlarm Clock
Write failed flushing stdout buffer.
write stdout: Broken pipe

I have not yet tracked down the problem. Hints welcome.

This does not appear to be a problem with the i386 version of 1.2pre17.

Copying the same file using scp from ssh-1.2.27 (with RSAREF) had no
problems.
