Modification to the above. The page # shown by my PAGER (less Ver 406-0)
depends on the Terminal setting. The above mentioned line # (579) was
on a 20" Widescreen LCD monitor. So Douglas is using a different
Terminal setting than I am, _not_ a different version of ssh. I am
starting to wake up now. ;-)

I agree Andrew. Other then reading the mail today I am going to be
looking into the problem, as it was, to see if I can figure out
exactly, why the problem occured and what package the bug report
should be filed against.
