:I'm not sure how to properly respond to bug tracker issues.
:I hope it's ok to just post a follow-up.

   Normally once it has a bug id but it isn't in the Subject so it will
   not be able to track... well, don't worry about it.

   There is another long-standing issue related to running sshd's inside
   a jail, when they use the same port #.  The sshd's inside are typically
   bound to a particular IP address whereas the one outside is bound
   to a wildcard address.  Unfortunately that means the one outside
   gets all the connections.

   So currently to run a sshd inside the jail the one that is run outside
   the jail needs to also be bound to a particular IP, if the same port
   is to be used.
