OOB packets and port forwarding

[George Faber]

I have an application that uses a 1-byte OOB packet
for a heartbeat signal. It appears that openssh blocks
these packets when I use it to forward to a remote
port.
The application works fine when connected to the
server
using the port forward, but all heartbeat packets are
stripped out from the socket data.

Is this intentional? Is it a bug? I've tried several
versions of openssh without success.

Any hints or help will be very appreciated.

Thanks,
George
