TortoisePlink is the plain plink, changed slightly so it doesn't show
the command window. Everything else is identical.
So I doubt that it's really TortoisePlink to blame here. Maybe the
version of plink that we used to create TortoisePlink?
The plink version of 1.4.4 is 0.57.
The plink version we have on trunk (in the nightly builds) is 0.59.
