I've found three problems with the 0.44 release:

a) Running scp with dbclient gives everytime the following messages:

WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-x'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-oForwardAgent no'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-oClearAllForwardings yes'

With the -v option and additional line with

WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-v'

is given. Nevertheless the scp will work so this is only a cosmetic thing.

b) Run a "scp <file> <host>" command to a host you never connected before. 
Now the following question is issued:

Host '192.168.193.251' is not in the trusted hosts file.
(fingerprint md5 c0:e0:89:a3:62:36:3b:16:86:13:2e:9b:11:f3:6b:71)
Do you want to continue connecting? (y/n)

Whatever I type I can't continue. Only a CTRL-C will work (or a kill from 
another terminal). Running the dbclient before the scp command and adding 
the host to the list of known hosts solves the problem.

c) I can't connect to a host that is running OpenSSH 3.9.0pl1. Every login 
attempt is recorded as a password failure on the sshd server side. What is 
causing the password failure is not loggable, even with LogInfo DEBUG2 on 
the sshd server side. The only noticable thing is that the sshd server is 
patched with a "Dynamic Window patch" (see 
<http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/>). Other clients (putty, 
ssh from debian woody, sarge, aix) can connect to the host without problems.
