Heh.  Funny you should mention that.  After finding out here what the
"Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key" problem was
all about (thanks, guys!), I just tried re-installing 2.5.2p2 on one
of my machines this morning.  As with your experience: incoming from a
box running 2.3.0p1 works fine, outgoing to that same 2.3.0p1 from the
upgraded 2.5.2p2 results:

    $ ssh -2 nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
     xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xxx xx xx
     Disconnecting: Bad packet length -112560745.

Back to 2.3.0p1 for the moment...


Regards,
Jim
