Could you compile Dropbear with DEBUG_TRACE enabled in
debug.h, and run it as a standalone server and with the -v
flag? That should give a bit more detail.

The output of ssh -vvv for the client might also be useful.
The error message occurs when the server receives data on a
channel that it thinks is already closed. Most likely it's a
logic error somewhere in the channel handling code - I need
to fix some things there.
