NetBSD 4.0 sshd: protocol violation



I was connected to a netbsd-4-0 machine via ssh and my shell abort()ed
(for reasons not relevant here).  My ssh client reported a protocol
violation in the exit-signal message; the core-dumped boolean was 0x80
(probably because that's the core-dumped bit in a wait() status), and
of booleans RFC4251 says "applications MUST NOT store values other than
0 and 1".  The variant part of the message (ie, the part after the
always-present CHANNEL_REQUEST fields) was, in hex,

 00 00 00 04 41 42 52 54 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Should I just send-pr, or is there something better to do?
