As a quick workaround, I copied over a scp binary from a RH 9 (and it worked!), but I really hate to patch Gentoo this way in the future.
Huh? scp comes with ssh - why did you need to copy it from a RH9 machine?
Errata: I copied from RH9 a "rcp" binary, not "scp" (which works fine with large files).
And why not just use scp instead of rcp (which is insecure - most of the "r*" commands are not used these days because they are about as secure as telnet is).
Because it is a production environment and I cannot change the workflow as I wish. Even this Gentoo box is a hardly tolerated experiment, and I must make it work just like other machines.
