Well this is a Mac OS X only project and you do work for Apple and  
Apple sure used to include plenty of patches to the included ssh build  
for 10.5.x (see <http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/OpenSSH/OpenSSH-95.1.5/patches/ 
 > for example) -- and it looks like they're still there in the 10.6.x  
version, except neither the .orig files nor the patches directory is  
present anymore.

Any chance you could send the appropriate ssh patch along to the  
internal Apple folks in charge of ssh? (I'd guess Disco Vince Giffin  
can point you in the correct direction if he's not handling the  
patches anymore.)

The openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org mailing list is also quite responsive  
to applying ssh patches -- someone (usually Damien Miller) generally  
applies reasonable looking patches promptly.
