Goldstein Lyor updated SSHD-412:
--------------------------------
    Description: If a zero-length file is sent/received via SCP then we run the 
risk of using a zero-length copy buffer size - in which case, the copy loop may 
run forever. This can also happen if using SCP to copy special files - e.g., 
_/proc/mounts_, _/dev/xxx_ which seemingly have zero size, but if opened and 
read do have content.  (was: If a zero-length file is sent/received via SCP

the copy loop may run forever. This can also happen if using SCP to copy 
special files - e.g., _/proc/mounts_, _/dev/xxx_ which seemingly have zero 
size, but if opened an read do have content.)
