FreeBSD dell 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 20 09:23:12 GMT 1999

>Description:
3.2-RELEASE Toshiba Portege ssh2 to a Linux Firewall and X11 forwarding.
3.3-RELEASE Dell Inspiron ssh2 to the same Linux Frewall and X11 forwarding.

The Toshiba never crashes, I run Netscape mail xmms whatnot from the Linux
machine, however the Dell crashes on a consistant manner with X11 forwarding.
Often its during a key press sometimes its just at random.  But the Dell
is also used on other networks, where it never crashes while X11 forwarding.

Since this is a multiplatform environment, and the method of running X applications,
from one machine to the other, finding "where" the bug is, can be difficult,
and as I feel reluctant to provide logs and kernel dumps of both machines.

I do suspect it is a problem on the 3.3-RELEASE side though, but that still
can be unsure, just becuase ssh2 works on other *BSD's doesn't make it
exempt.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up sshd2 (latest and greatest) on a Linux machine (2.2.x)/RedHat 6.0
install ssh2 on a 3.3-RELEASE box, *possibly with PAO drivers*.
Start running X applications from the Linux machine.  Netscape, gimp etc.
Givin time the 3.3-R machine will completely crash.  The longest I have
gotten it to maintain "normal" operations was approximately 36 hours, till
I hit "home" in xmms to select a song to listen to.
