That was the hint I needed.  It's /bin/bash, which reminded me I just
changed something
in .bashrc which outputs a message and does some other stuff which must be
confusing scp.  In fact, I just confirmed that by commenting it out.  Now
scp works too.
So: PROBLEM SOLVED.

Now I just have to figure out how to tailor it some more so the offending
code is skipped
for 'scp'.  That I can do.

Thanks for the help.
