Bug#228064: -g in combo with -R

[Lars Wilke <lw@lwilke.de>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.2p1-7
Followup-For: Bug #228064

The problem does not occur if one uses
GatewayPorts yes  (server enforces bind to any interface)
GatewayPorts no  (server enforces bind to loopback device)

If using 'clientspecified' on the server (server does what client says)
and issuing (on the client:)

   ssh -g -R 1234:bla:234 blubb

ssh should bind to all interfaces on blubb, as the docs say.
But it only connects to the loopback device.

But using

   ssh -g -R :1234:bla:234 blubb

works as expected.

When using -L instead of -R this problem does not occur.
