Snapshot

[Damien Miller]

I have just uploaded a new snapshot to 
http://www.mindrot.org/misc/openssh/

Snapshot production is now automated - new snapshots will be made
at about 4:30 am (Australian Eastern time) and will be available from
the URL above.

This snapshot consists of mainly minor fixes over the previous. 

The race when sshd exits which was causing data loss (as evidenced by 
"ssh localhost dd if=/dev/zero bs=10000 count=1 | wc -c") has been 
avoided by reverting to the previous behaviour of stalling until all 
child processes have exited. This will cause ssh sessions to hang on
logout if there are background processes with open fds, but it is better
than data loss. Investigation on how to best fix this problem is 
continuing and assistance would be appreciated.

Changelog:
