Package: ssh
Version: 1.2.13-2
I pasted a 256 character string from my Emacs into an xterm running
`ssh chiark' and it froze. I did the same with a 257 character string
and it also froze, but didn't echo the 257th character. 255
characters did not freeze it. Killing the session with ``RETURN ~ .''
worked.
See also my recent bug report against netstd. It's possible that
these two bugs are related, though I find it entirely plausible that
they are separate errors.
