Report of message "Unexpected response to shell/command request: packet type 91" - seems to be correlated with seeing "Opening forwarded connection" before "Allocated pty" in Event log. Sounds to me like the connection setup code is insufficiently able to cope with asynchrony. PuTTY certainly shouldn't be sending CHANNEL_OPEN then being offended by the resulting CHANNEL_OPEN_CONFIRMATION. ref <28ssdvsa2meifm4mnriadpcffs2ahuul73@smtp.image.dk> and prior in thread.

How to reproduce: Have PuTTY forward a local port to a machine on the other end. Try to use the forwarded port while starting PuTTY and connecting to the remote host. I have the problem with an internal news server on my university which I read through an SSH forwarded port using Forte Agent that I tell to fetch news before PuTTY is connected. Forte Agent waits 1 second between retries. [...] It seems PuTTY sends an SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN interleaved with other packets and then gets confused when it sees the reply SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_CONFIRMATION. I should probably also note that the problem is periodic, and whenever I have seen the problem and the event log (5 times or so) it has had "Opening forwarded connection to news.example.com:119" just before "Allocated pty". Also I have found netcat better to provoke the error by trying "nc -vvv localhost 10119" just before running "C:\Programmer\putty\putty.exe -load ask" in another prompt. ----------
SGT, 2004-11-27: I've rearchitected the SSH back end somewhat, so that it's now a hybrid of coroutine-based sequential code and random dispatch-table handling of incoming packets. This ought to solve this problem, although I'm unable to immediately test it.
