JSch 0.1.53 session.connect() throws "End of IO Stream Read"
<p>I downloaded a new <a href="http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/" rel="noreferrer">JSch 0.1.53 library</a> and JSch (sftp) download task no longer works. This release fails on <code>session.connect()</code> function throwing an error <code>Session.connect: java.io.IOException: End of IO Stream Read</code>.</p>

<p>My old jsch.jar(2011-10-06) works fine to the same host, maybe I am missing a new config props?</p>

<pre><code>Session session=null;
ChannelSftp channel=null;
try {
    JSch.setLogger(SSHUtil.createJschLogger());

    JSch jsch=new JSch();
    session=jsch.getSession("myuser", "11.22.33.44", 22);
    session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no"); 
    session.setPassword("mypwd");
    session.connect(2000); // &lt;-- FAILS HERE
    channel = (ChannelSftp)session.openChannel("sftp");
    channel.connect(2000);
    ...
</code></pre>

<p>This is an extensive JSch logging indicating whats going on.</p>

<p>I have also a very old Jsch.jar (2011-10-06) where download task works fine, this is a log. A Reason I wanted to upgrade is this very slow transferring files. New release should do things better I have read.</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong>
I had an idea to backstep releases in a <a href="http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.jcraft%22%20AND%20a%3A%22jsch%22" rel="noreferrer">Maven repository</a> and actually it is this very new release not working properly. Previous jsch-0.1.52.jar release works fine. I try to contact library developers.</p>

<p>This is a log from a working 0.1.52 release.</p>
