I reported this a while ago on the Ubuntu Launchpad bug tracker:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/openssh/+bug/483928

I've also confirmed that the bug persists in OpenSSH 5.8p1, and I gave
your patch a try to scan a corporate network of 6000+ hosts.

Most of the hosts don't appear to be running SSH, but I can't be sure
if that's really the case, or if ssh-keyscan(1) is bugging out on many
of the connections. It does run through to the end of the list, but
with some anomalies, like "Connection closed by A.B.C.D" or "Received
disconnect from A.B.C.D: 2: Client Disconnect" messages that crop up
multiple times for the same IP address.

Is it possible that one bad connection can still take down active good
connections, even with this patch?
