Over the last few days I've noticed an oddity. One time it was a
little more than that in that it caused memory/cpu starvation on
the system it affected, and subsequently resulted in a crash. :-(

Anyway, this is using -current (as of the today). ssh into the
box shows:

root  16004  0.0  2.4  308  716  ??  Is  10:16PM  0:01.83 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
root  16007  0.0  3.1  340  936  ??  S   10:16PM  0:00.33 /usr/local/sbin/sshd

Looks reasonable.

Logout, ssh back in:

root  16007 71.3 29.9  8404 9080  ??  R  10:16PM  0:26.32 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
root  16004  0.0  2.3   308  684  ??  Is 10:16PM  0:01.83 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
root  16076  0.6  3.0   340  900  ??  S  10:19PM  0:00.33 /usr/local/sbin/sshd

Yow, 8 meg! Top shows:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
16007 root      92    0 8404K 9080K RUN      1:00 93.16% 93.15% sshd

So it has gone into CPU tailspin as well.

Does anyone have any ideas before I recompile with debugging info
and see what in hell it is doing?  ssh to a box running 2.2-ALPHA
sitting right alongside works fine, without exhibiting this
behaviour, and another remote box I often use running 2.1.5 also
works fine (not to mentione freebsd.org's 2.1.6). 

The version of ssh in all cases is 1.2.17.


Merry Christmas or happy holidays to everyone,
