Comment 14 for bug 1225327

who from ubuntu said that? is there an ubuntu or redhat bugreport?

IMO that attitude from a vendor is laziness on their part. They're shipping an old, modified version of openssh, so it's their responsibility to investigate problems to a) make sure it's not due to their changes, b) not already fixed and c) the problems are reported against the right upstream.

In this case, I happen to have an ubuntu 12.04 VM, and I can't reproduce the problem without libedit, but *can* reproduce it --with-libedit (2.11-20080614-3ubuntu2) but not on Fedora (which has libedit 3.0-7.20120601).
