I tried a few times on the weekend, but no success yet.  The first time,
strace crashed right away, leaving me with an unkillable error window,
which left me gunshy for a couple of days.  When I tried it again this
morning, it did much the same thing, except that the error window only
popped up twice--once with an error in cygwin1.dll, once with an error in
kernel32.dll.  There was something in the strace file, but considering that
scp didn't even get to the point of prompting me for my password(I should
perhaps mention that I'm using password authentication, rather than
publickey), I didn't think it was likely to be the same problem.  Any other
suggestions on dealing with the original issue, or even the strace crash?
