Very slow SSh since upgrading machines to RELENG_4_8

[Pete French]

Due to the recent OpenSSh security alert I have upgraded all our
machines to 4.8-RELEASE-p7 (they were running 4.6.2 before).

We have two set of machines,- some here on 172.16.0.0 and some
in Jersey on 172.19.0.0 I can ssh from the machines here to the
machines in Jersey as normal, and I can also ssh back the same way.

but if I try and ssh between two machines in Jersey then ssh pauses for
a considerable length of time before letting me in. By "considerable"
I mean over a minute.

Preseumably the far end is trying to do something and then timing out,
but the question is *what* is it doing and how do I fix it ? Also
why did this only change when I upgraded ?

The output from ssh -v is shown below to show the point at which is
is pausing... hope somebody can help here as its causing a lot of
inconvenience and a few real problems as it also affects rsync.

help!
