           Summary: "buffer_append_space: alloc 10506240 not supported" on
                    AIX5 when attempting to use compression
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org

Using openssh-3.7.1p2 on AIX 4.3.3, 5.1 and 5.2.

  When attempting to connect, with compression, to sshd running on an AIX 5 
machine, sshd kills the connection after accepting the users password.

  syslog, on the AIX 5 machine, reports the following error message:

fatal: buffer_append_space: alloc 10506240 not supported

  Attempt to connect, without compression, to sshd running on AIX 5.x works 
fine.

  AIX 4.3.3 doesn't have the issue at all.  I've found references to this 
problem going back to openssh 3.4 without any resolution.  Any help/suggestion 
would be greatly appreciated.
