I'm attempting to transfer the kernel into the Debian 1GB filesystem.  
I've tried 'dd if=linux-2.4.24.tar.bz2 | ssh root@colinux tar -C 
/usr/src -jxf -' as a last ditch effort to maybe uncover whether it's a 
difference between scp and ssh or not.  Apparently, it happens with ssh 
as well.  I noticed an interesting effect, though.  It appears that only 
the first or a few packets are transmitted between the coLinux 
environment and the Windows environment.  Further traffic just ceases.  
I have no idea what's causing this, either, since existing ssh sessions 
continue to work.  I exited one of my ssh sessions while attempting to 
do the above tar command, and my ssh session would not completely exit.  
I had to type '~.' to terminate it and get back to my cygwin prompt.

I find it strange that apt-get install's work fine which use HTTP 
transfers, but scp and/or ssh don't.
