'scp' returns incorrect exit code (OpenSSH_2.5.2p2)

[Anonymous]

'scp' returns a zero exit code, even if it fails to perform the desired task.
	bash-2.03$ scp nonexistent at no.such.domain:some/file .; echo $?
	ssh: no.such.domain: Name or service not known
	0


'ssh' will however return a non zero exit code in a similar situation.
	bash-2.03$ ssh nonexistent at no.such.domain date; echo $?
	ssh: no.such.domain: Name or service not known
	255

This behaviour was noticed with
	bash-2.03$ ssh -V
	OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f
on a linux x86 box


Keep up the good work guys.
(And let Mr. Ylonen alone in his grief for his lost ssh-trademark case).
