The other day I installed openssh-portable-3.3p1. It ran quite nicely,
apparently including privilege separation and compression.

that is to say I could see that processes with reduced privileges were
being run, and connectionswith 'ssh -v' worked and reported that
compression was being used.

Now I install openssh-portable-3.4p1 and when I start the daemon it tells
me:

  This platform does not support both privilege separation and compression
  Compression disabled

Is this simply a problem with the way the configuration works itself out,
or is there a real problem with supporting compression?
