Attached is a memo that contains the debug output
when the problem is reproduced locally on our office machines.

I think the afffected systems are at least solaris 7 and solaris 8 from
what I gather from the post. The log below
is generated when I tried the command against sshd
2.3.0p1 on a solaris 7 for x86 host.
(without "-2", the command works.)

"ssh -2 host 'echo $PATH' doesn't work against sshd on solaris7 for x86"

***

(The following log is a little complicated since
 the ssh connection is passed by a tcp-level gateway to
 a final sshd server on a remote host.
 But I have observed the same problem WITHOUT
 such proxy before.)

First example.
***
*** ssh -2 -v -v -v targethost 'echo $PATH' doesn't work.

*** server is solaris 7 for x86. We used sun cc compiler.

ssh is invoked from a solaris 2.5.1 host.

then "NO -2" connection.
