Subject: Apparently some SSH servers object to our claiming port-forwarded connections
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/u/mdw/putty/commitdiff_plain/1f182589dea0018df41309c9a122737ee317bfe3

Apparently some SSH servers object to our claiming port-forwarded connections
to be from IP "client-side-connection". Claiming "0.0.0.0" instead seems to
work. Spotted by Brant Thomsen.
