This is a bugfix release, which is fairly important since it fixes a
denial of service bug in lshd (and also in lsh, but that's probably of
less importance).

News for the 2.0.1 release

        Fixed denial of service bug in lshd.

        Fixed a bug in lsh-make-seed, which could make the program go
        into an infinite loop on read errors.

        lsh now asks for passwords also in quite (-q) mode, as
        described in the manual.

        Control character filtering used to sometimes consider newline
        as a dangerous control character. Now newlines should be
        displayed normally.

        Removed support for the non-standard alias
        "diffie-hellman-group2-sha1". The standardized name is for
        this key exchange method is "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1".

Since it's a small update, I'm also distributing a patch file.
