Hmm. If a hostkey is changed on disk, when a session to that host is
already established, and rekeying is enabled, this happens (it is a
known bug). Workaround is not to change the hostkey on that remote
system on regular basis :) Also, you can disable rekeying (note that
they must be disabled on both client and server).
This is not fixed with the upcoming 2.4.0 release, I'm afraid. (blame me)

2.4.0 should be compatible (in our tests has been) with OpenSSH, and
it will be released soon (< 2 weeks).
