Bug 176

Dear OpenSSH developers,

We upgraded OpenSSH from 2.9 to 3.1p1 due to the recent security hole.
Unfortunately, this upgrade creates a problem for a visualization
tool that does X11 graphics over an SSH channel.

The visualization code is the rasmol_16BIT code available from
http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/software/RasMol_2.7.2.1/
The rasmol_16BIT code has NO problems in case:
 1) the remote OpenSSH server is running OpenSSH_2.9p2.
 2) the X11 is forwarded directly in stead of via an SSH channel.
You should be able to reproduce the error by downloading the
rasmol code and trying it out.
Rasmol is the only failing application we've found so far.

Note that the option "X11UseLocalhost no" would fix the problem, but if I manually set

	DISPLAY=`echo $DISPLAY | sed s/localhost/somehostname/`

then Rasmol (and any other application too!) would not find a display at all.

I enclose below a debug-listing which hopefully may point to the
origin of the error (I have no understanding of the underlying 
mechanisms).  Both the client and server systems are running Redhat 7.2,
and have the openssh-3.1p1-2 RPM installed with default X11 configuration, but 
running "ssh protocol 1".
