tramp (2.1.6-pre); ssh problems from cygwin to Linux

[emacs user]

--bug report follows this line--

this is a more complete bug report for a problem reported previously.  the 
two debug tramp buffers are attached.

I login using ssh method from my cygwin laptop to a remote Linux
workstation.  displaying a dired buffer on the remote machine.  then I
press "C" to copy a remote file to my cygwin home directory and get an
error message.  this is just one example of the fact that scp and ssh
stopped working for me between cygwin and Linux.  this is the case for
the past month or two.  it used to work well before, and I have no
problem using tramp between Linux machines.
