Do I have an ssh problem? Fedora reproducible crash.



I have a core 4 box that has behaved admirably for a long time. I just added an F7 box where SE is disabled.

Here's my problem. On the F7 box, I just happen to have a half dozen files that are about 8Gig. When I try to transfer a file using scp to the FC7 box ssh, the F7 box just crashes. Sometimes it crashes around 300M, sometimes 300M, my latest died at 567M.

F7 happens to have two NICs and the crash happens regardless of which NIC I use. (I tried both hoping that it might be a hardware problem, but I won't buy that both are bad.) Smaller transfers and regular network traffic work just fine. There is nothing in syslog on either side when it happens. There's no controlled kernel dump, F7 just stops dead. The client on both sides is not root.

The version of ssh on FC4 is

openssh-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-clients-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-server-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-askpass-4.2p1-fc4.10
openssh-askpass-gnome-4.2p1-fc4.10

The version of the F7 box are

openssh-4.5p1-6.fc7
openssh-server-4.5p1-6.fc7
openssh-clients-4.5p1-6.fc7
openssh-askpass-4.5p1-6.fc7

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.
