Protection Violation in TortoisePlink with svn+ssh

Occasionally, TortoisePlink causes protection violations accessing an
archive with svn+ssh:

The (German) text is:
Die Ausnahme "unknown software exception" (0xc000000d) ist in der
Anwendung an der Stelle 0x78141468 aufgetreten.

The stack shows, that TortoisePlink is trying to call vsnprintf with the
follwing string:

string = 0x007ea818 "Disconnection message text:
(SSH_DISCONNECT_PROTOCOL_ERROR)"

As there is only one place in TortoisePlink calling vsnprintf, this
shouldn't be too hard to resolve for the author of TortoisePlink.
There even is a note in the source, that TortoisePlink might
theoretically fail (and so it does!).

Can be reproduced
- under Windows 2000 with a Linux svn-server
- with all versions of TortoiseSVN including 1.4.1
- simply by:
-- stop pageant
-- wait for the passphrase
-- press OK without giving a passphrase
-- sometimes, you need to press OK 3 or 4 times.

Kind regards,

Jens
