Comment:

 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1929 confirms "The VER field contains the
 current version of the subnegotiation, which is X'01'."

 See my bug8879 branch for a fix.

 (Backporting is probably inappropriate so long as the #8117 fix doesn't
 get backported. Then again, this fix is independent of that bug wrt
 applications that offer *only* username+password auth, and do not offer
 no-auth. Still, 0.2.3 has lasted this long without a fix, and it will last
 longer.)
