>Description:

Some of the patches for ssh change gethostbyname() into getnameinfo().
Unfortunately, SOCKS doesn't support getnameinfo(), and thus SOCKS
support in ssh doesn't work any more.

>How-To-Repeat:

Build ssh with SOCKS support from pkgsrc, and try to use it with a
SOCKS proxy.

>Fix:

Not known.
