Hmm, this does fix the problem only in CYGWIN=tty mode. I just tried
it three times with notty and it was worse than before. Pressing
the RETURN key doesn't return to the shell prompt anymore. So I will
not check in that until the problem is solved for notty as well.

This has been fixed on Tuesday and is part of 1.3.2-7 which has been
announced Wednsday. I got a fix on 7th Sep from Jason Gouger which I
only checked in Tuesday due to my vacations.

Thanks for the pointer. I have solved that by copying the content
of hostname to a save location via `strdup()'. This let the syslog
still work as before.
Note that on my W2K system the syslog contained an empty hostname
while it never crashed. Weird. Just for the records: Which system
are you using?

I see. I have checked in an appropriate patch which additionally
tests the name case insensitive as I did that already in OpenSSH.
You will see your changes in the next version soon.
Thanks,
Corinna
