Hi all,

I see a completely reproducible problem when I cvs update over ssh
from anoncvs.netbsd.org. Or more precisely, I see the problem if I use
OpenSSH as shipped with NetBSD-current, but not if I use good old
ssh-1.2.27.

The same (?) problem seems to have been reported by a couple of
different people the last two months, but I haven't seen any solution:

And:

I see both of these myself (if I remove either GCC's patch-aa or
pbsdboot.uu and cvs update it will die exactly as above).

I noticed two things:

	- both these files are rather big, over 200KB. Just to test I
	  removed src/share/dict/web2 and ran a cvs update. And sure
	  enough, it died in the same way.

	- the problem disappears completely if I use ssh-1.2.27
          instead of the OpenSSH shipped with -current.

For reference I include a transcript below. Any thoughts or hints
would be greatly appreciated,

[ "sshv" below is a minimal script running "ssh -v" (OpenSSH).
  "/root/ssh1" is the old ssh-1.2.17. ]
