Argh !!! 

I emerged openssh-5.1_p1-r2 on houba.
Restarted ssh server (/etc/init.d/sshd restart)
Log on sg and make a scp as usual. 
It worked fine.
Make a second copy, and It worked fine also.

Then, I emerged openssh-5.2_p1-r3 on houba, restarted sshd, make three
big copies ... and finally it worked fine. 

The bug mysteriously escaped from the dungeon !
