I get similar symptoms with unison over ssh: It worked great before SP2 (i.e. 2 hours ago). After I installed SP2 on the client, unison/ssh just hangs. The server has been running SP2 for over a week.
Any normal ssh sessions work fine. I'm also using ssh to forward the IMAP port (143) to my server's port, which still works.
By adding -rshargs "-vvv" to unison, the last few lines of ssh debug output is:
Contacting server... ... debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). debug2: fd 4 setting O_NONBLOCK debug2: fd 5 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug3: ssh_session2_open: channel_new: 0 debug2: channel 0: send open debug1: Entering interactive session. debug2: callback start debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0 debug1: Sending command: unison -server debug2: channel 0: request exec confirm 0 debug2: callback done debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072
... and nothing more happens.
For the record: My unison is 2.9.20, Win32 native, *not* the cygwin port. cygwin and ssh were already up to date, as of 3-4 days ago.

My XP machine at work was just upgraded to SP2. Now I'm having problems
accessing a cvs repository on a linux box over ssh. Everything was working fine until this SP2 upgrade.
I can access the cvs host via ssh normally (although in a possibly related
matter, ssh sometimes seems to be a character behind when using vi remotely --
has anyone else noticed that behavior? This was true before the SP2 upgrade). Invoking cvs remotely without a password seems to work fine:
$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cvs Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments] where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc. (specify --help-options for a list of options) where command is add, admin, etc. (specify --help-commands for a list of commands or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms) where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help) Specify --help to receive this message
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control. For CVS updates and additional information, see the CVS home page at http://www.cvshome.org/ or Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html
However, if I try to issue a local cvs command (CVS_RSH=ssh, etc., nothing has
change client side or server side except the SP2 upgrade), then the command hangs:
$ cvs status myFile.txt cvs status: warning: unrecognized response `Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication dat' from cvs servering. (never returns)
Examining the process server side reveals that the cvs process is hung on reading stdin:
# strace -p 5316 read(0, <unfinished ...>
Is anyone aware of any changes in SP2 that would cause this problem? Are there any workarounds?
