scp may be broken

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@shellworld.net>]

Earlier I set up a private key with ssh -keygen and copied it to the 
proper place on my isp's computer for me to use.  That works fine with ssh 
but breaks with scp since scp says the key is too long and doesn't grant 
access to the other machine.  Could the pass phrase be too long for scp?
