Hi,
I'm using Woody but this problem occured in Potato as well. I have the
latest OpenSSH installed (ssh_1%3a1.2.3-9_i386.deb) with SUID root
enabled. I haven't modified any of the configuration files, they're from
the stock debian package. When a user that doesn't have a ~/.hushlogin
file tries to log in, ssh fails with signal 11. If this file exists, ssh
works fine.
Debug messages of the client and the server:

Where ltrace -f sshd says:

It would be quite important to solve this problem or I'll be forced to
use ssh-nonfree which I don't really want to. :)
Thanks in advance,
