ssh upgrade broke terminal window resize



hi,

since I have upgraded ssh, programs in xterm windows aren't aware
of the xterm window resize. the versions of openssh in question
are 3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4 and 3.8.1p1-8.sarge.6. I'm fighting with
this problem for a while already, and cannot find solution...

I can confirm that it is the ssh upgrade which caused this
problem.

I have straced and ltraced processes on local and remote host,
and I know that local ssh client is sending packets over to
server after a window change, and server does signal window
change to the shell (by an ioctl(<fd>, TIOCSWINSZ... call).
however, after upgrading, the strace and ltrace results are
pretty different. so I checked diffs between sarge.4 and sarge.6
versions and they, of course, don't deal with this at all.

downgrading ssh back to 3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4 does not solve problem,
and this is what makes me curious even more.

I would like to know if some other people experienced this
problem and whether/how you have solved it...
