Looks like there's a patch for openssh available the RH bug which
detects broken server implementations and sends options that they can
accept (by matching "Cisco-*" in the banner).

We probably don't want to have to maintain this patch in Ubuntu
indefinitely though. But we could cherry-pick it if upstream commit the
patch. Is there a bug filed with openssh upstream?

  Previous working versions of SSH (6.2p2) work fine on certain host
  machines as follows:

  But in 6.5p1 the following bug occurs:

  OpenSSH_6.5, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
