sftp exits with error NULL pointer given as argument

[Pavel Rosenboim]

Hi,

I'm connecting with sftp from my work computer running Win2k SP4 to my 
home computer running Fedora Core 3. My ssh config file turns on port 
forwarding for several ports. In this configuration sftp exits with 
error: "xfree: NULL pointer given as argument". When port forwarding is 
turned off sftp connects without problems. Also this happens only with 
sftp not ssh. The problem started after upgrading openssh package to 
version 4.0p1 and doesn't happen with previous releases. I also tried to 
connect from Fedora Core 4 test3 machine which also uses openssh 4.0p1 
with same configuration and it does work.

Output of sftp -v -v -v -v -v pavel@pashar.dyndns.org
