Potential DoS against forwarded ssh-agent

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Does anyone have any thoughts about this issue?  What would it take to
get this patch (or something like it) included in OpenSSH?

Or am i barking up the wrong tree?  Is this not really a potential
DoS?  Or does my proposed patch not resolve the problem?

Thanks for any feedback you might have.

Regards,
