If I ssh to another 3.7.1p2 system and it is configured for a banner and the 
file either doesn't exist or is zero length I get "xmalloc: zero size" The 
patch also seems to disable the -q option to eliminate the banner. We use it 
for scripts.

Just to make matters a bit more complex I found that a co-worker added another 
patch pwexp24.patch to the mix. I will attach that one also.

That patch was marked as obsolete.  Try attachment id #421.

A problem at this end. I need to find out how the old version of the patch made 
it back in the build.
