scp (4.3p2) no longer allows a space in the userid.

Subject: scp (4.3p2) no longer allows a space in the userid.
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 00:04:37 -0600
Prior to upgrading to 4.3p2 (4.2p1 and before) I was able to do 
thefollowing:scp foo "MY USERID"@myputer.net:tmpWith the userid having a space 
in it.  Now when I issuethe command I get an error message "MY USERID: invalid 
user name".The machines with a space in the username are WinDoze.I have 
searched the ChangeLog and can't find any mention of this.In addition, I 
searched the archives and didn't see where someoneelse was having this same 
problem.  I compiled openssh on Solaris 9.I have also noted this same behavior 
within Cygwin as well.
Was this change intentional?
