I can't answer for Mark but I can say that I'm having the exact same
problem and haven't been able to track it down, and I had tried all of
your suggestions. I'm running ssh 1.2.27 (non-free in Debian) on both
the local machine (an SGI running IRIX 6.5) and my potato laptop.
There's nothing in the syslogs on either machine, that I can find.
Here's the output of ssh -v laptop:

And here's what happens when I try to start up an X application:
laptop% xclock
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 113
Error: Can't open display: laptop:11.0
That's it. From my workstation to other machines things work fine. It
seems only the Debian box is having problems.
