hi Robert, it was filed today as:
6679747 ssh disconnects with error if acsfour, 3des or blowfish is
used and RekeyLimit is >= 1G

1GB is the default rekey limit for 3des, blowfish and arcfour. The
bug is triggered without using RekeyLimit at all.
I'm investigating it.

this means that in the middle of rekeying, another key re-exchange
request came.
thanks for the report, J.
