hello Linux guys !

here is a strange rcp problem found on a 2.0.5.

take two linux machines, says mach_A and mach_B:

take 2 programs, says prog1 anf prog2 which just make respectively
printf("hello\n") and printf("world\n")

on mach_A, do : rcp /tmp/prog1 mach_B:/tmp/prog
on mach_B, do : /tmp/prog , it give "hello" , good !

now

on mach_A, do : rcp /tmp/prog2 mach_B:/tmp/prog
on mach_B, do : /tmp/prog , it still give "hello" , NOT good !

as far as i can see , the problem does not appairs with a local cp, just
with rcp !

if mach_B is under linux1.2.13 (without changing anything else )
the problem does not appairs !!

Have Fun !
