rcp does the following on connect:
# exec /bin/sh
# PS1=''; PS2=''; PS3=''
# stty -onlcr -echo
# echo hello
# echo //////
At this point it expects to find (within ten seconds) the string
'//////' at the start of the line.
Can you try, at the command prompt, the slogin and then issuing these
commands. You should *not* have a prompt visible at that point, if you
do it's an odd behavior with your shell.
Your buffer shows '[other_machine:/]# [h:w]$ /////' as the last line.
This looks (to me) like the prompt is not going away as expected.
