Could you send me the full ssh -vvv log, please, just to make sure this
is the same thing?

Are any server logs available?

Later comments in the same bug (e.g. that from Florian Lohoff) indicated
that the upstream fix was sufficient, so I backported that in preference
to a home-grown patch, which I usually find to be a sound policy. I may
be able to see from your logs whether there's any relevant difference
between your setup and that of other people.
