Yes, we have also narrowed this problem down on our site to the "set
prompt" command in users .cshrc files.
I've been trying out all different sorts of fixes but, there are
simply too many variations of shells/config files to do this easily.
It seems to me it would be much cleaner (and easier ;-)) to modify
the servers behavior to ignore .cshrc when subsystem-sftp is
executed. Can you recommend a way to do this (or are we even allowed
to do this?)? Is SSH working on a fix for this problem?
