ssh to AIX 5.3 pauses on xauth



I SSH into an AIX 5.3 machine using a PuTTY 0.59 client and it pauses
during the login. I login in another window, break out of the paused
login and a ps shows the other one is paused in xauth. The command
running is
xauth -q -
which when I run it on the command-line results in an interactive
prompt in xauth. I assume this is the X11 forwarding that is doing
this. How do I fix it? (I would like to keep the X11 forwarding.)

ssh -v
