 As a (temporary?) workaround, I've turned your patch into a standalone
 program that can be run on login. (I'm lazy.) This can be run from the
 .login (t/csh users) or some other way for other shells. Yes there's a
 compiler warning. If someone would like to fix it, I suppose they should
 feel free. Otherwise it works fine.
 
 I don't want to get deeplyinto the politics of this, but at a minimum,
 this change (and/or official position why it won't be fixed) should
 probably be reflected in the next release notes for freebsd in the openssh
 section. I realize we haven't really had release notes for 4.6.x yet.
 
 Compilation and installation is left as an exercise for the reader.
