Okay, here we go. Earlier today, I erased several images from my local
working directory for a website. I updated several other things and
then ran the following:

scp -r pics user@site:/home/trever/somewebsite/

speachbubbleLONG.jpg 100% |*****************************| 2868
00:00
speachbubble.jpg 100% |*****************************| 3428
00:00
speechLONG-L.jpg 100% |*****************************| 2868

speechLONG-R.jpg 100% |*****************************| 2868

speech-L.jpg 100% |*****************************| 3428

speech-R.jpg 100% |*****************************| 3428
00:00
speechLONG-L.jpg 100% |*****************************| 4751

The speachbubble* were among the files I had erased about at least 15
minutes before hand (maybe over an hour).

This happened every time I used the command. However when I changed
into the pics directory and ran:

scp * user@site:/home/trever/somewebsite/pics/

It didn't copy those files, didn't even see them. An ls doesn't show
them either.

I have seen this happen several times before, I just realized for once
it is indeed a bug and not me messing up or imagining things.

My filesystem is mounted as ordered mode w/ ext3. Is this a known bug?
