Yep,

   Makes perfect sense. I looked over that part of the code 15 times, looking 
at it with a strange look on my face (wondering - "Is that right?"), but not 
being able to see through the process to what happens either way and what 
difference it made. That is the "You would need to know some of how kio_sftp 
operates to know what I did..." that I simply didn't have.

   I'm glad it is fixed!

   Uh-oh! Just saw the update 'openssh-6.0p1-1' ready to install. We'll go 
give it a test and report back. I'm sure it will be no issue :)
