sshd failure (openssh 4.0p1-1)

[<somian-cyg at adelphia dot net>]

Dear Maintainers / All,

SYNOPSIS:
------------
The Cygwin sshd seems to have developed an aversion to, uh, working, with the 
latest release, 4.0p1-1. Previous to a recent update via setup.exe, it was
working fine. I can still connect the client to any remote host.

SYSTEM INFO:
----------------
  $ cygcheck -c openssh
