i'm getting some very strange behavior with openssh 2.3.0p1 that i don't
recall seeing with 2.2.0p1.  here's some short output that will probably sum
up what's going on better than i can explain it:

there's plenty of memory free (512MB total, 220MB free) and cpu load is low
(0.05 up to around 0.10).
system is slackware 7.1.0.  using openssl 0.9.5a.  using openssh 2.3.0p1 on
both ends of the connection with publickey authentication.

using openssh 2.1.1 (openssl 0.9.5a) with password authentication to the
same server, everything works normally.
