SCP problem on Redhat 6.2

Hi,

I have an Ultra5 running Redhat 6.2. My problem is that when I scp a file 
into the machine, the progress bar shows no error and the correct file size. 
However, when I do an ls -l it shows the file size to be very large 
(1374389534720 in this case from the correct size of 320). The script file 
only contains 7 lines of code including blanks. I am using openssh-3.2.3p1 
compiled from source. This also manifested on openssh-3.4p1. The remote 
machines varies from a Pentium4 running Redhat 7.3 and an Intel box running 
Solaris2.6. I can't open the file using vi.

Anyone can shed light on this ?

Thanks in advance.
