scp not tolerant of extraneous shell messages

I assume it only because the shell comes up in interactive mode, which
it is supposed to do only when standard input and output are
terminals.  And because that's what Ssh would do normally
(i.e. without a command).  At least that's what I thought.  I'll check
it out.
