I upgraded to lsh-2.0 today, and now lsftp doesn't work :-/  Is it just 
me?  I've tried it against all manner of servers and it always fails...

# lsftp <hostname> -- 'cd /tmp'
Broken pipe

Actually, the same thing happens even if I make up some bogus value for 
the hostname so it doesn't appear to be a compatibility issue.

Trying to get more details...

# lsftp -v <hostname> -- 'cd /tmp'
lshg: No usable gateway found, launching lsh instead.
Broken pipe

... and...

# lsftp -V <hostname> -- 'cd /tmp'
Child died!
Exited with status 0
Broken pipe

This is a sparc running Solaris 9.  lsh and lshd work fine.

If there's any simple way for me to gather more useful information please 
let me know.  I've tried tracing the process to see if there's some 
problem with access to a file or something but have not been able to turn 
up anything useful.  Not having a real clear understanding of how lsftp is 
supposed to work and what other programs might be involved I'm not sure 
where to go from here with troubleshooting.
