ssh to FreeBSD 4 systems: xmalloc: zero size

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

I can confirm that this patch solves my problem:

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=1554

That patch is part of this ssh bug:

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1496

Can we get this fix into FreeBSD before the 7.1 RELEASE?

Thanks.
