Hi,

Just thought it might be wise to put on the record that the Cygwin build
of OpenSSH-4.0p1-1 also suffers from the upstream bug reported in
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=996:

Summary: Fatal error in xfree() when scp invokes ssh with a LocalForward
config

A search of the cygwin mailing list didn't not bring any detail on it,
so here it is for others to find.

There is a workaround, until the next version gets released. You can
place a colon in front of your local forward spec in your .ssh/config
file as so:

   LocalForward 10666 arbitraryhost1:1666
  ->
   LocalForward :10666 arbitraryhost1:1666

Regards,
Shaddy
