ssh -W causes "getsockname failed: Bad file descriptor" errors

Using openssh 6.5p1-2, this error(?) message occurs frequently
    getsockname failed: Bad file descriptor

This has been reported to debian and mindrot:
    https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2200
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=738693
and has been fixed:
    https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=2407

Can this patch be applied to the official arch openssh package?

Re: ssh -W causes "getsockname failed: Bad file descriptor" errors

Have a look on the Arch bugtracker and see if it has been logged. If it hasn't, and hasn't been accepted upstream, you could open a report there: it's more likely a developer will see it there...

This appears to be fixed with latest openssh 6.6p1-1.
