putty lock up connecting to ssh_sshd

[Jakob Cederlund]

The upcoming R10B-10 will have an ssh that handles putty. It's more than 
the version handling that is updated to support it. (ssh.com should also 
work) Some timeout issues and a couple of things with sftp will also  be 
fixed.

/Jakob Cederlund, the responsible person :-)
