Some more info, with debug.  From WinSCP when I try to open a "command window":

----
Command 'groups' failed with return code -1 and error message 
free(): invalid pointer 0x804dae0!
----

----
Command 'pwd' failed with return code 0 and error message 
free(): invalid pointer 0x804dae0!
----

I don't see anything at all in syslog.  If I turn up debuglevel to 6 (which I
picked out of the blue), and try at a Linux shell:

ssh -v -p 10006 bobo at localhost groups

(I have ssh only listening on 10006 for this user) I get:
