SCP error status broken on SuSE 9.1?

I have a program that calls scp to transfer a file to a
pre-authenticated user. The problem is that scp is copying the file
fine but giving back inconsistent return codes - mostly success (0) but
occassionally -1 with no information any different in the -v debug
output. In all cases the file has transferred fine.

The platform is SuSE 9.1 client transferring to a Solaris9 X86 server.

Anyone seen this before?? Debug output below.

TIA

The file concerned contains a text string "Some text" with a \n and
appears fine on the destination system.
