openssh unix dev - Nov 2000 - OpenSSH-2.3.0p1 - debug: no match: OpenSSH_2.3.0p1

disclaimer: i am not subscribed to the list.

i just compiled OpenSSH-2.3.0p1 and replaced OpenSSH-2.2.0p1.
i noticed that OpenSSH-2.3.0p1 does not match itself in compat.c
the problem seems to be in line 65 of compat.c,

		{ "^OpenSSH[-_]2\\.[012]",	SSH_OLD_SESSIONID },

it looks like the regex needs to be expanded to include 3:

		{ "^OpenSSH[-_]2\\.[0123]",	SSH_OLD_SESSIONID },

not understanding the ramifications of such a change, i am loathe to
do it myself.

I noticed that too; a warning is generated in verbose mode for that.

I took it to mean that there are no bugs or incompatibilities with OpenSSH
2.3.0 <-> OpenSSH 2.3.0.  As well as there shouldn't be! ;-)
