Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see any impact on security from changing the buffer size (as long as buffer overflows are properly addressed). After all, that buffer is used to store *encrypted* data, right? Well, one way to find out is to post an actual patch to the openssh list and get flamed... :-) Perhaps one of these days I'll get a round tuit.
