I don't suspect an intentional compromise here but I'm curious about why anyone would consider a non-standard change.
The change was added due to valgrind testing of openssh and warnings produced while compiling.
The removal was discussed on the openssh-devel list. If was clearly an accident caused by trying to do the right thing.
