No problem. I had to use the debug mode to find out why the
X11 forwarding didn't work. Finally, the problem was in the client,
though.

Sure. I did look at the sources for the first time and
do not know a lot of OpenSSH, yet.
So, just go ahead and apply your suggested fix for the next release
and we are all happy.

It was easy to spot and temporarily fixed, anyway.
