ssh to FreeBSD 4 systems: xmalloc: zero size

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

With the latest FreeBSD 7.1 PRE-RELEASE, I am having trouble
ssh'ing to FreeBSD 4 systems.

I am getting this error:
OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

At this point I cannot log in.  The system I am trying to log into
is: 4.11-RELEASE-p26
Any ideas?

This is a big problem for me, because I have a lot of FreeBSD 4.x
servers that I need to log into.

Thanks.
