Additional info:

Downgrading to glibc-2.4-5 fixes the problem.

Problem is reproducible on i686 and x86_64 machines.

Comment 1 Jeff Needle 2006-04-26 16:02:09 UTC
See also Bug #189997

Comment 2 John Ellson 2006-04-26 22:18:38 UTC
I can confirm that Comment #1 from Bug #189997 works for me too.
    "Setting "UseDNS no" in sshd_config works around the problem temporarily"
