in lines 307-310 in client.py, the hostname is rewritten
to "[origname]:portnumber" if the port isn't 22.
this serves no useful purpose at all, and it breaks
the lookup for the host key that is attempted on the next few
lines: that now fails as the ssh known hosts format allows
hostnames or ip addresses, nothing else (and certainly
not '[hostname]:port').
result: you get a "unknown server" exception (unless you enable the
only-warn missing host key policy).
the attached patch removes the problematic hostname rewriting.
