Hi,

I have a 90-100 percent repeatable putty unclean-close-crash. It has
existed for many months (> a year?) across many versions.

QUESTION: How can I help debug this thing? It is really painful.

Thanks,
Pete

My setup:

* XP or Win2k laptop
* Wired or wireless LAN connection
* Port forwarding set up for email tunneling:
    L25 => cosmos:25
    L110 => cosmos:110
  ('cosmos' is listed in my Windows hosts file, with fixed ip)

Crash occurs 90+ percent of the time after this sequence:

a) Lose connection (bad line, cable drop, linux host reboot, etc etc
etc)
b) Wait N seconds, where N may be 1 to 1000+ depending on phase of the
   moon (i.e. it may crash immediately, or may wait until (???) next
   happens)

It also crashes sometimes if the connection is just unreliable but not
gone.
