Hi,
we see a bug when the rekey limit is reached. Dropbear is run on a embedded mips device. For testing purposes we changed the define in sysoptions.h to:
#define KEX_REKEY_DATA (1<<21)
This gives the following log:
...

With the unaltered define this happens after exactly 1GB traffic. I'm sorry that I can't attach a patch. But I can provide more logs if you need them.
