Oh yeah something weird going on... I tried to connect yet again, and while waiting for it to get to the password prompt I went and did something else.
When I came back I saw it was at the password prompt and the text "isnt that what I sa" was entered at the prompt (not by me, by remote persons unkonwn). Weird... anyway, it crashed again after that
I figure your server port is conflicting with some other service you are running.
