This may be of interest to Harold too.
I tested on a different machine (a training machine) and could not
trigger the "no buffer space available" error. I tried with ssh and telnet.
So, it seems it is a problem local to my machine.
Btw (for Harold):
Once OpenSSH is installed, XWin sessions (the way I used them, i.e. remotely)
always start up ssh-agent processes, even if SSH is not used, and never kill them.
I have to go into task manager and kill them manually - I had about 15 of these
processes when closing the X session after 30 minutes.
This happened on all 3 machines I tested on. Is it wrong to just close
the X session window (Alt-F4)?
