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

[emacs user]

--bug report follows this line--

I've been having numerous problems over the past two months or so with scp 
and ssh methods when running emacs under cygwin and trying to connect to a 
remote Linux machine.  The attached report is for a bug which occurs when I:

1) connect to the Linux machine and view a remote directory by dired

2) press C on the remote directoy and try to copy a file to the local
  cygwin home directory.

3) error message is copy failed.  additional information attached
  below.

4) this is only one example of failures with scp and ssh between cygwin and 
Linux which I have been having for the past 2 months   or so.  it used to 
work well for me...

thanks, EU
