Something in your .profile or .bashrc or .kshrc (or whatever script is
executed upon startup of a non-interactive shell) calls "stty".  For 
"ssh-with-command" and "scp", this MUST NOT be done, as there is no tty,
and the error message will mess up the protocol.

The error comes from the remote end.

Of course.  You're just doing a local copy here, with the destination
*file* named "irixhost".
