Public bug reported:
When plink fails to connect to the remote host and authenticate
successfully, it not always exists with a non-zero return code.
Happens in both the version packed in Ubuntu (Dec 13 2014 17:09:53) and
the git master branch.
This bug is important for people using plink in automated scripts as
myself as it is impossible to differentiate between the case where the
remote command executed correctly and the case where there were some
kind of failure.
