ssh going zombie

Subject: ssh going zombie
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 07:56:43 +0100
   Using sshd under Debian Unstable Openssh  0.9.7e

When winscp disconnects from our server the scp process goes zombie and the ssh process hogs the processor on the server. This only seams to happern with winscp and not with scp or ssh under linux. If the subprocess is removed from the sshd config file the a sub sshd process goes zombie instead and the calling sshd process hogs the processor.

I'm think it may have somthing to do with the way winscp talks to sshd , but the winscp people seam to think this is a problem with sshd. I get this feeling this is going to be a problem nobody has a clue on and wishes to blame the other party.
