Sure enough, I discovered it does have an impact. With 0.4.4.92,
the client no longer works correctly (basically it breaks right
after the SSH session setup, no output, no prompt from remote as
usual).

Sorry I forgot. WinXP SP 3; gcc from Cygwin (uname -a says:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 CAOTTN0L010153 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34
i686 Cygwin). It's been on the machine for some months with no
updates.

Very true. I just wasn't sure how much energy you wanted to spend
on this, given the architectural mismatch. But I'm fine to
continue with testing of course.
