Debian's release cycles are long, ugh.  This is the latest package on
Debian 5 which was just released last week.

Actually, what you quote above is the output on my putty screen when I
was testing it via putty.  That is a separate test from the other log
files I included in my email which are of my sftp attempt from a linux
box.  Sorry I didn't explain that very well.

I have followed this FAQ and the strace is included in my original
post which is a strace of my sftp attempt from one linux client to the
server.
