   JFC, how the hell is it considered acceptable to ship something which   
   has a bug like _that_ in it ? :-( That should be a P1 blocker if discovered   
   before release and should have resulted in the kit been pulled if   
   discovered after release.   
      
   Next question: _what_ causes the session to terminate and is it   
   exploitable or (hopefully) just a session crasher ?   
      
   Is it a supervisor or executive mode bugcheck or something which just   
   causes a crash/bugcheck in the OpenSSH code ?
