more on flushing; Aap: Copied; /usr/bin/scp -C -p

Also, output like what is listed below is being output in chunks
(as opposed to being flushed line by line).
And, with scp://, it appears to take 4 minutes to transfer
100 files (certainly not due to bandwidth).  Maybe the slow
scp is something I need to investigate, but maybe you have an idea?

When I say chunks, I mean 10+ lines at a time.

(scp involves aap version 1.053; redhat9 to freebsd4.9)
