current TortoisePlink breaks with newer openssh

Hi,

after upgrading openssh on my Linux-Server to openssh-6.9p1 tortoiseplink comes with “Server unexpectedly closed network connection” after a few seconds timeout.
The /var/log/messages file on server shows “error: Hm, kex protocol error: type 30 seq 1 [preauth]”

As a workaround, I use plink from putty (ver 0.62) instead of tortoiseplink and all work fine. (Except a bunch of ugly dos-boxes appearing and disappearing cause plink is a command line tool ☺)

With some search on internet I found the guessed reason:

On OpenSSH 6.9, old key exchange type SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD is deprecated as below.

So, tortoiseplink should no longer use the "Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange Request (Old) (30)" for ssh-connections.

Thanks in advance
