           Summary: SSH with long banner has xmalloc error and disables the
                    -q option
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: dpb at bl.com


If I ssh to another 3.7.1p2 system and it is configured for a banner and the 
file either doesn't exist or is zero length I get "xmalloc: zero size" The 
patch also seems to disable the -q option to eliminate the banner. We use it 
for scripts.

Just to make matters a bit more complex I found that a co-worker added another 
patch pwexp24.patch to the mix. I will attach that one also.
