[Xquartz-dev] OSX 10.6.2 breaks X11 auth forwarding?

I am also seeing this problem.  With "ssh -vvv" on SL with the stock X11 I
get the following:

debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth  list /tmp/launch-fliXNa/:0
2>/dev/null
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
debug2: channel 0: request x11-req confirm 0

I tried running the xauth command without redirection and did not get any
output.
