Bug Description

Installing from the repository I get ptunnel version 0.71-2.
The current version (since september 2011) is 0.72 which, according to the CHANGELOG:

" Fixes an authentication bug that would manifest as hung connections with
  protocols that send data from the client-side before receiving data from
  the server-side. Thanks to StalkR for locating the bug and fixing it."

and that's exactly what happens when I try to connect to my server.
A self compiled version 0.72 works against the same server.
