Thanks for the suggestion, but for the record, X11 forwarding is
turned on in both the client and server config files.

If you look at the trace, the client requests the X11 forwarding
service when the first connection is established, but when the client
actually asks for a connection, there's an authorization failure of
some kind in ssh.  Because this failure has happened with both the
OpenSSH cleint in -stable and the ssh client in the 1.2.27 port, I
think the problem is in the OpenSSH server.  (A 1.2.27 client and
1.2.27 server do the X11 forwarding correctly, so I don't think the
problem is X server configuration, either.)

Any other ideas?
