The repro steps are pretty basic: any file-open over plink or pscp

methods throws this.  It appears to happen after the local temp file has 

been created.  The above file contains my complete .muttrc, successfully 

transfered.



Trace (byte code removed due to non-printable characters):

I also noted this when compiling the stuff in place:

Hope that helps!
