When scp'ing a large file (240 Mb) over the ET T1 from whack-a-mole
(IRIX 8.4.5) to No-Whammies (Linux 8.4.5 layered) using
/usr/athena/bin/scp, the percent complete indicator occasionally
resets to zero.  (Frustratingly, this *only* happened when I wasn't
looking at the screen.)  The download finished with the indicator
showing 12%.

I'm pretty sure sneaky things were happening with scp like this
before, when I was moving things around between older 8.4 Suns and
Sgis.
