putty lock up connecting to ssh_sshd

[Lennart Ohman]

Hi,
I have been experimenting with Putty too and found it not
to work well (not at all) with the erlang ssh server.
The main reasons seems to be that the putty terminal identifies
it self as version 1.99 which should mean version 1 or 2 if I
am not mistaken. But the server does not handle this. The
responsible person in the OTP team is notified.
