    The authentication code was overhauled in r6437 to fix some bugs and
    make some features easier to add. Looks like I introduced some new bugs.

    Please direct further correspondence to <putty@projects.tartarus.org> to
    avoid cluttering up the newsgroup.

    I know what this is. Hopefully I should find time to fix it soon.

    Not sure what this is yet. Can you send an SSH packet log to the email
    address above, please?

    I know what this is too. The session isn't frozen, it's just that the
    window fails to indicate it's inactive. Hopefully I'll get around to
    fixing it before the next release.
