I just updated the snapshots.
Dropbear was updated to the freshly released 2014.64 version, and I had to battle some fairly weird issues with it... In the end, strace, git bisect and some good old elbow grease won the day, but I'd be glad for some more testing! So if you're using dropbear with those snapshots, and something weird happens, give me a shout!

But the good news is that I was able to enable the same kind of keep alive feature than I did in OpenSSH, so, if you had some reliability issues (especially over WiFi and/or on legacy devices), that might help
