marks a version string. It's a bit vague about the definition of a line,
but I think it's reasonable to assume that they'll end with LF. Change
do_ssh_init() to ignore "SSH-" anywhere else. This makes the existing state
machine overkill, so replace it with something a little more readable.

rationale (as mailed to him):
I think you're right. I got the pronunciation there from the second edition
of the OED and my Collins dictionary at home, both of which believe that
"pretty" is pronounced /'prItI/, but, at least to me, those two vowels are
different. Both of them think that /i/ doesn't occur in English words, the
vowel in "beat" being /i:/. The third edition of the OED, though, adds /i/
as an English vowel in its pronunciation guide, with "happy" as an example
of its use. I'll update the FAQ following your suggestion.

do_ssh2_transport() was returning the wrong value for rekeys after the first.
This apparent error was introduced in r4901, but we can't see any reason for
the change to have been made. If it turns out to be a mistake to revert it,
I'm sure we'll find out.
Here for posterity is Simon's analysis:
| A lot of the return values from do_ssh2_transport appear to be vestigial: it
| used to be that a zero return from do_ssh2_transport meant it had handled the
| packet internally, and a 1 return meant the packet wasn't a transport-layer
| one and needed to pass on to do_ssh2_authconn. Since r4901, however, the
| layer discrimination is done based on the message type ranges, and the only
| remaining dependency on the return value from do_ssh2_transport is a special
| case in ssh2_protocol which detects the first 1 return and makes the
| initialisation call to do_ssh2_authconn.
|
| Therefore, the gratuitous 1 return on every key exchange as a result of the
| confusing if statement is simply ignored in ssh2_protocol (because
| ssh->protocol_initial_phase_done is already TRUE). So the remaining question
| was, why does the _lack_ of that 1 return not cause a problem, if the if's
| sense is indeed reversed?
|
| The answer is that 1 is still returned, just not by the crReturn inside the
| if statement. It's returned by the next crReturn, just after
| wait_for_rekey(). Which suggests that in fact, the if statement has the
| correct sense, but the crReturn inside it has the wrong value - it should be
| returning _zero_, to indicate that every NEWKEYS after the first one is
| uninteresting to the authconn code, and on the very first run through that
| doesn't happen and the NEWKEYS gets all the way to the crReturn(1) later on.

enforce the following:
* Packet must have at least one byte of payload and four bytes of padding.
* Total packet length must not exceed 35000 bytes compressed.
* Total packet length including length field must be a multiple of cipher
block size (or eight bytes).
The feebleness of our old checks was noticed by Ben Rudiak-Gould.

eaten by the trailing "\f0" on the RTF preamble. The RTF spec (1.0 and 1.6)
suggests that adding a space should defuse this situation and be otherwise
harmless, and it works for me (Win98).

and add the ability to treat a local disconnection as "unclean" -- notably, if
we can't agree any authentication methods to even try; someone was complaining
that the PuTTY window by default just disappears for no apparent reason in this
circumstance.
Also, use appropriate disconnect codes for those SSH2_MSG_DISCONNECT messages
that we do send.
I don't think I've seriously broken any user-visible behaviour, but the way
that connection-close distinctions are transmitted to the front-end is shaky
(or so it seems to me), so there may be non-ideal changes on some platforms.

escaping performed by PARMRK, at least on my system. Actual passing on
of BREAK is as-yet untested.

modes of operation all took separate source and destination pointers. They
were never called with those pointers different, though, so reduce them to
a single pointer like everything else uses.

- We were using the first word of each block of keystream block twice and the
second not at all.
- We were incrementing the high-order word of the counter after every block
rather than the low-order one.
With those fixed, our 3des-ctr implementation interoperates with the one in
Moussh. Thanks to der Mouse for his help with the testing.
3des-ctr is now enabled by default.

probably also help. Displays with other silly depths (e.g. 2bpp) aren't
catered for, but I suspect they're rare in the X world.
