openssh unix dev - Jul 2004 - x11 forwarding problem on solaris

Hi!

I am having problems using openssh-3.8.1p1 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 to
connect to another sparc-solaris or x86-linux machine with X11
forwarding enabled. 
After connecting tot the remote box if I start emacs, type a few
characters and then try to select the text with the mouse emacs
crashes. This reproduces reliably on a number of solaris/linux machines. 

Here is the output of ssh -v 

debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 2 win 65536 max 16384
debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 35652
debug1: channel 1: new [x11]
debug1: confirm x11
debug1: channel 1: FORCE input drain
X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol request 38
debug1: channel 1: free: x11, nchannels 2

[1]    Abort                         emacs (core dumped)

This reproduces reliably 

openssh-3.7.1p2, works just fine. 

openssh-3.7.1p2 was configured/compiled with the same command line as 
openssh-3.8.1p1, both using the same statically linked zlib-1.1.4 
and openssl-0.9.7d.

Using the SUN Forte-7 compiler or gcc-3.4.0, turning off optimization
does not make any difference.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
