Strange sshd message in /var/log/messages: sshd: ^[[60G

Hi guys,

OpenSSH version: 3.1p1-14
OS: RHEL2.1
Kernel: 2.4.9-e.34enterprise

I have the following in the messages file:

Mar 22 13:41:24 x sshd: Starting sshd:
Mar 22 13:41:24 x sshd:  succeeded
Mar 22 13:41:24 x sshd: ^[[60G
Mar 22 13:41:24 x sshd: 
Mar 22 13:41:24 x rc: Starting sshd:  succeeded

I've seen this message occur before, as have others I know - but now, I need to 
find out why this is
occuring and how to stop it.

I've googled and searched the archives but although many people seem to have 
this message in their logs,
nobody seems to know why it occurs. It seems like its not causing any problems, 
but again, I need to
get rid of it if possible, or at least explain why it occurs.

It looks like some sort of terminal control character - but why it is being 
logged I have no idea.

Is it a known bug that has been fixed in a newer OpenSSH version? Or is it a 
genuine log message that
is just completely obscure? :)

Thanks,
Rafiq
