Using dropbear 0.50 (I know there's a more recent, but didn't see any changelog notes about this issue), if I try to use dbclient to connect to a host that has a long banner (1553 chars), I get the following error:

dbclient: connection to u...@host:22 exited: string too long

On this particular host, I do not have access to change the banner. However on a different machine that I do have access to, I did change its banner and confirmed that indeed when using the longer one, dbclient gives the 'string too long' error and aborts.

Are there any workarounds for this?

Thanks,

Scott
