ssh hang on wrong port - is it a bug ?

[Hari]

Hi,

ssh client program seems to hang when specified a wrong port no (port on
which some other server, like telnetd is running).
"netstat -an" shows the connection is established.
I expect the ssh program to report invalid server msg and exit.
Is this a bug or known behaviour ???

I have attached the -v -v -v output.

Thanks,
Hari
