Hi Colin,

I have been using testing for a while now, and the only package that is
having trouble with the 10.6 notation is ssh.  I can use 10.6 with ping,
xvncviewer, nc (netcat), and any other utiltiy I use regularly, all except
for ssh.  There's got to be something that isn't using the glibc code in
there.
