Thanks for tracking this down.  I debugged this on the source level and
it turned out that this is the result of an old Cygwin-related patch
combined with a new generic patch in OpenSSH 6.5.

On non-Cygwin systems, an "UsePrivilegedPort yes" is ignored if the uid
of the caller is not 0 (=3D=3D root).  On Cygwin "UsePrivilegedPort yes" is
not ignored.

The new generic patch is this:

 * ssh(1): bz#1211: make BindAddress work with UsePrivilegedPort.

This leads to a call to getaddrinfo with hostname and service parameter
set to NULL, if UsePrivilegedPort is set.  The same occurs on non-Cygwin
systems if the user is root.

I'll report this as a bug upstream.


Thanks,
Corinna
