>Description:
scp gives the following warning even when "-q" option is given:
Warning: Server lies about size of server host key: actual size is 1023 bits vs. announced 1024.
Warning: This may be due to an old implementation of ssh.

In contrast, ssh correctly shuts up about it when given "-q".
>How-To-Repeat:
scp a file to a machine running an old sshd.  (This happens with
protocol version 1, by the way.)
