There may be a problem with SSH2 v3.2.9.1 on AMD64 / x86_64 and ia64
systems. As some of you may still be using this software I thought
you might like to know. There was a bug reported on FreeBSD with SSH2
and AMD64. I have not been able to reproduce it, but it does make me
wonder what other bugs may be present on AMD64 systems.
The bug report is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=98016
The link to the patch is dead but the patches can be found via
cvsweb. Look for the patches by marius that are about 8 months old.

I will not be using SSH2 on AMD64. I am not about to audit the code
for other bugs. As near as I can tell SSH2 is no longer maintained
(for some time now).
