Hi, I use ssh to connect to a Linux box and on the 6th I suddenly found that vim (enhanced) on the linux host was no longer useable over the usual ssh connection. Vim would load a text file, but almost any input produced a series of beeps and streams of trash chars at the bottom of the screen. Fortunately, ctrl-Z worked most of the time to get me out of vim.
On the 5th I had upgraded the vim rpm's on the linux host, so I rolled back from 6.1 to 5.7 on linux, but this didn't help. Vim over ssh from Cygwin was still broken. I reinstalled vim 6.1 on the linux box. However, I've found that rolling back openssh from 3.5p1-3 to 3.5p1-2 fixes the problem. Going back to 3.5p1-3 brings it back. I've compared the source for these two versions of openssh and the difference (in session.c) seems (to me) to be unrelated to anything that might produce a terminal control issue. Is it possible that 3.5p1-3 was built somehow differently than 3.5p1-2? What were the exact options used to configure and build each? I don't see any documentation of this in the source.
