How about running the client in verbose mode, or perhpas the server,
too.  I don't know what sort of verbosity options putty has, but the
standard openssh client can take a -v argument (repeated up to 3 times
for maximum verbosity.  The server can also be launced in the foregroud
with debugging option -d, which like the client can be specified up to 3
times.  The messages that come are displayed for both the client and
server are a bit cryptic sometimes, but they are human readable and may
well give you a place to start looking.
