2.9p1-7.rpm is the openssh version distributed with the latest SuSE
(7.2) distribution;  If it's very old, then we should inform SuSE that
they need to release an upgraded RPM to fix this, because this is a serious
bug!

I am now on a conference trip, so I have to delay checking the new
code until I am back.  If the bug still exists, I will repost my patch
to this list.

Thanks for the feedback!
