Strange behaviour of sshd or putty.exe

[format_c]

Hi,
when I connect with putty to ssh on Gentoo I observe a strange behaviour.

First the prompt for the username, then just "Password:".
When I now type in the right password, putty crashes.
When I type in a wrong password, the prompt for the password comes again but with "username@hostname's password:".
when I now type in the right password it works.

When I try to connect with putty to a sshd on SuSE 8.1 then the password prompt "username@hostname's password:" comes up the first time and it works. So its not really the problem of putty I think.

But when I try to start a session from the SuSE Machine to the Gentoo with "ssh username@hostname" it works fine on the first try.

Here are the three tests I described above:
putty --> SuSE 8.1

You guys should try the free non-commercial windows client at ssh.com, it's better than putty.
