The changes are in the cygwin 1.7 package rather than the ssh package.
That means you'll need 1.7 if you want to see if that solves your
problem (it should).  If you're willing to risk your current Cygwin
installation, you can install the 1.7 version from here:

<cygwin.com/setup-1.7.exe>

This is not released software.  It is not beta software.  It's just
available for people to try and test with.  It's up to you whether or
not to experiment with it.
