When I attempt to open a shell to another machine with 2.3.0p1-4, and
previously 2.2.0p1-5, installed I get the following error:

    xfree: NULL pointer given as argument

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ssh to another machine with a similar version of SSH installed.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  [oberon@empress downloads]$ ssh magus
xfree: NULL pointer given as argument

Expected Results:  Should have opened a secure shell on magus.

There is no core dump.  2.2.0p1-2 and all previous versions since RedHat
6.2 worked fine on this machine.

I can still ssh to a machine with a protocol 1 version of SSH installed:

	Go Blue% /usr/um/ssh/sbin/sshd --version
	/usr/um/ssh/sbin/sshd: illegal option -- -
	sshd version 1.2.27 [sparc-sun-solaris2.6]
	. . .

Here is the failing command with verbose debugging output:

Comment 1 Pekka Savola 2001-02-22 22:54:05 UTC
Do you have a different version of OpenSSL installed than which OpenSSH was compiled against?

Comment 2 Derek Price 2001-02-23 11:58:34 UTC
That was the problem.  I had the 0.9.6-1 OpenSSL libraries from the RedHat
contrib section installed rather than the 0.9.5a-14 which came with RedHat 7.0.
