+We have anecdotal evidence that some SSH servers claim to be able to
+perform Diffie-Hellman group exchange, but fail to actually do so
+when PuTTY tries to. If your SSH2 sessions spontaneously close
+immediately after opening the PuTTY window, it might be worth
+enabling the workaround for this bug to see if it helps.
+
+We have no hard evidence that any specific version of specific
+server software reliably demonstrates this bug. Therefore, PuTTY
+will never \e{assume} a server has this bug; if you want the
+workaround, you need to enable it manually.
