All, I upgraded to this version of openssh and found that the server would drop connections from the Teraterm ssh client. In researching the issue, I came across this thread: http://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2015-April/033794.html It looks like it is an issue with the sshd server and upstream took the patch, so are you willing to do a revbump and apply it for us on Gentoo?
i'm assuming you mean this commit: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/d8f391caef62378463a0e6b36f940170dadfe605 if it's in upstream, then generally we don't mind backporting. this one certainly looks benign/straight forward.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Add fix from upstream for old TeraTerm clients http://sources.gentoo.org/net-misc/openssh/files/openssh-6.8_p1-teraterm.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/net-misc/openssh/openssh-6.8_p1-r5.ebuild?rev=1.1
