Sorry, forgot that you don't use OpenSSH. I'm going away for two weeks and
will try this when I return.

I can't be the only one with this problem. Also, I think its better
practice to have a patch reviewed by the maintainers when it is as central
to security as SSH, even one this simple. (I'm capable of doing some
_really_ dumb things. Applying a patch meant for one SSH distribution to
another when I don't know what I'm doing greatly enhancing my native
ability to do dumb things.)
