Yeah, and encrypted volumes (in my case).

That is great!  I had not looked at github.  (That pull i could
not have found by then?)

I am not at github so cannot see the log, but since configure
failed also locally, a "autoreconf" seems to fix it.  After that:

  make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/x/openssh.tar_bomb_git/regress'
  unit tests passed
  echo all tests passed
  all tests passed

(8.5p1 plus your patch.)
It would be nice if that patch made it in.

Thanks, and Ciao from Germany,
