scp to embedded system running dropbear yields results in zero length files

[Steve Sakoman]

I am one of the early users of the OpenEmbedded Linux build for gumstix (
2.6.21 kernel, uclibc).

The build image includes dropbear 0.49, and it seems to work fine in most
cases.  I am able to login to the gumstix remotely via ssh.  I am able to
use ssh on the gumstix to log into my linux box. I am also able to use scp
on the gumstix to copy files to my linux box.

However using scp to copy files from the  Linux box to the gumstix doesn't
quite work.   The copied file appears on the gumstix in the proper location,
but it always has zero length!

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Regards,

Steve
