Or is it that vc is reading stderr when it shouldn't ? If I use the
command :

cvs update -p -r 1.25 tooltip.el > tooltip.el~1.25~

then I have no problem and the line `Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding.'
goes to the screen.

For the record `ssh -V' gives :

OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f

and I'm using Mandrake 8.1.

(And, of course, as Kai says, `ForwardX11 no' in ~/.ssh/config stops the
message.)
