[etc] SCP gives problems when there are echo statements in .tcshrc

Hi,
I am having this problem since a pas few months..

scp, which comes with openssh does not seem to be working..

I am using the command
scp path_to_src user_name@machine_name:path_to_dest

It either gives me no  error, or the following error

write failed flushing stdout buffer
write stdout: Broken pipe..

This is how I solved it..

Since i am using a tcsh, my .tcshrc file contained an echo statement which
was causing all these problems with scp..
I merely commented it and now its working..
So to conclude, if you are using tcsh and want to use ssh, then do not have
any echo or xhost -like statements in .tcshrc, which write to stdout.
