2.5.2 cannot handle 2048bit DSA keys?
...t seems that ssh-keygen can generate a large DSA identity key
easily (ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048), but that ssh itself cannot handle
such a large key and fails. In particular, an error message is from
key.c:421 of the source (openssh-2.5.2p2.tar.gz). On the screen, it
displays
===
key_read: uudecode AAAAB3NzaC1kc3...
...

but interestingly, does NOT print the final "failed".
Since DSA identity keys are only used with protocol 2, that is what
I've tested so far. I have NOT tested OpenSSH with large RSA1 or RSA
keys. Furthermore, this bug may also occur with host keys, but again I
have not...
