Description Bob Friesenhahn 2004-07-03 06:29:16 AEST 
When using X11 port forwarding, X11 protocol errors are encountered for operations
on the X11 clipboard.  In particular, xemacs hangs with an X11 protocol error
related to the clipboard if CONTROL-K is used to delete a line.  I assume that
there is some corruption in the X11 data stream.

Reverting to 3.7.1p2 (previous working version for me) seems to avoid the problem.
Comment 1 Bob Friesenhahn 2004-07-03 07:08:17 AEST 
Additional information regarding the build:

Software versions
  Solaris 9
  GCC 3.4.0
  OpenSSL 0.9.7d

Configured with options:

--with-cflags=-O3 '--with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib'
--with-pid-dir=/var/run --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh

Problems are clearly due to the ssh client program since they also occur when
using ssh to a Gentoo Linux system with an sshd (version 3.8p1) which has been
working fine for several months.
