rcp *copying from a remote machine* where the login shell is bash1.01 does not
work; i.e. if the login shell is bash on host neat, then
	rcp neat:file .
will transfer most of file, but will abort near the end with
	rcp: protocol screwup: expected control record

The machine running bash (neat) is a Sun 4 running SunOS 4.0.3; the local
machine is either a Sun or an SGI using the 4.3BSD rcp -- the same version
of the protocol used in 4.0.3.

Removing all bash configuration files (.bash*, .profile, .inputrc) does not
help.  Changing the shell on neat to /bin/tcsh solves the problem
immediately.

Has anyone else seen this? Is bash doing some oddity that would cause
characters to be sent, confusing rcp? Is this fixed in a current release?

Same occurs running bash 1.02 + various patches; the person I got it from
does not report the problem under a SunOS4.0 Sun 3, so its either a Sun 4ism,
a 4.0.3ism, or a local rcp-ism.  Mutter.
