Hmm, I didn't stop to think about it, and since I didn't have a copy
already I just copied and pasted Neil's line, which worked on the first

Maybe there's a content firewall that doesn't like what it sees in the
packet inside that file and drops the connection ... but since it's
using SSH this is not very likely.
