file name handling "bug" in scp?

[stdout azi]

OK, let me mention my issue  :-)

$scp foo.pdf azi at foo.bar.com LALALALA
cp : cannot stat `azi at foo.bar.com': No such file or directory
$

Now, the file LALALALA is created and has the same content that foo.pdf

$ls -al
-rw-r--r--    1 azi      users           101 Aug  2 13:03 foo.pdf
-rw-r--r--    1 azi      users           101 Aug  2 13:03 LALALALA
