	This message prompted me to go get the latest version of
OpenSSH.  I discovered, much to my horror, that they've BSDified it so
badly it's nearly impossible to get it to compile and run on a Linux
box.  :-(

	Time for someone else to start with an old version of ssh and
fix it.  *sigh*

Have fun (if at all possible),
