So this means SSH is on the server side, right?

What version of Twisted are you using? Likewise, what versions of 
PyCrypto and pyASN1? I imagine issues could be in any of the three. If 
you're using up-to-date versions of each, I don't see any pending 
tickets or post-Twisted-12.0 bugfixes that reflect this, in which case a 
good next step would be a minimal reproducing example.
