Oh true, so true! It must be a bug in that wicked tcsh!
I'm doing the same here, scp from ssh1 to openssh, and I've found
that on the openssh machine it shows up a nasty core dropping bug
in bash too. And a nasty bug in csh too. In fact I cannot find a
shell without that bug. Funny I'd never noticed how buggy shells
were before using ssh of different kinds.
But fear not, I've found a great way to fix all of the bugs in all of
the shells with all environments. If you change all of the machines to
use the same type of ssh1 or openssh, guess what, no more dying
core-kicking shells!

Matt, tcsh is a good shell for those twisted enough to appreciate it.
Don't toss tcsh away just yet :-) A serious answer for this problem
will come out eventually, if it hasn't already, and I doubt it would
involve any fixing of tcsh (or bash or csh or...).
