This is code originally written by jhawk that you checked in when you
did the initial import of OpenSSH 3.0.2p1; I'm not 100% certain what
it's original intent was either, but I suspect it's not responsible for
any 9.2-specific bugs, and I figure that by invoking jhawk by name,
we'll get an answer to what the code was trying to do.
