OK, noted for future. But it seems like their bug tracker requires
registration, too. I suppose I could email the author directly...

Thanks.

My point is that it might be a good idea to commit SCTP support
into base system's openssh. Then we(I) won't need the port at all.
The protocol first appeared in FreeBSD, yet there is not a single
program that uses it. This can change.
