Hi all.

I've put up version 0.51 of Dropbear,
http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html as usual.

There aren't many changes though it should fix the problems
with an exit status not being returned by the server.

Cheers,
Matt


0.51 - Thu 27 March 2008

- Make a copy of password fields rather erroneously relying on getwpnam()
  to be safe to call multiple times

- If $SSH_ASKPASS_ALWAYS environment variable is set (and $SSH_ASKPASS is
  as well) always use that program, ignoring isatty() and $DISPLAY

- Wait until a process exits before the server closes a connection, so
  that an exit code can be sent. This fixes problems with exit codes not
  being returned, which could cause scp to fail.
