Just saw this behavior on a SunFire 480 machine, where it was at the ok
prompt, and from what I cna read in the messages file, there is an
[auth.crit] error there, from sshd, that monitor_read produced a fatal
error from an unsupported request #24.... The full line looks like this:

sshd[12878]: [ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal: monitor_read
: unsupported request: 24

Has anyone else ever seen this before? I find it very disquieting to
think that sshd can drop a box to the ok prompt, and I really hope that
there's more to this than that...

Oh, A couple other important bits of info:

OS: Sun Solaris 8
OpenSSH version: 3.4p1 (that's a one, not an ell)
