[Twisted-Python] failure to connect to sshsimpleserver.py

Hello,

I'm just starting to use twisted (having quickly read through the book  
"Twisted: Network Programming Essentials"), and I am unable to  
successfully use one of the example scripts:  doc/conch/examples/ 
sshsimpleserver.py .

I am using python 2.5.2 and today's svn of twisted and pycrypto on  
RedHat AS5 x84-64.  I experienced similar results with 8.1.0 .

I am able to start the server with no problem, but when I start a  
client that connects to it, I get:

I have tried starting the client both as 'ssh localhost -p 5022' as  
well as running the sshsimpleclient.py script with the same results.

I have also tried connecting from a different host into the server,  
with the same results.

Any help in resolving this issue and realizing a working example of an  
ssh server would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Glen Mabey
