Success on :
Fedora9 (x86_64, 2.6.25, gcc 4.3.0)
Ubuntu 8.04 (i386, 2.6.24, gcc 4.2.3)

On Ubuntu 6.06 (i386, 2.6.16-xen, gcc 4.0.3) I get the following:
run test login-timeout.sh ...
ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 4242: Connection refused
ssh connect after login grace timeout failed without privsep
failed connect after login grace timeout
make[1]: *** [t-exec] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/openssh/regress'
make: *** [tests] Error 2
