Description
Using current edge, cannot connect to github using a public keypair. Error message that I receive as both standard user and root is "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0". Tried recreating /dev/ptmx, but still had the issue. Ran an strace on ssh which is attached (without private key passphrase :)). Any ideas?

can you connect with alpine-2.0.x, or any other linux distro? I.E does this only affect Alpine v2.1 (currently v2.1 = edge)

On alpine-2.0.3 with openssh-5.5_p1-r0, received the same error message (PTY allocation request failed on channel 0), however on the next line got this:
ERROR: Hi jbilyk! You've successfully authenticated but GitHub does not provide shell access
Connection to github.com closed.
I guess this partially worked before... Will test on ArchLinux 2010.05 as soon as the iso finishes downloading.

Same thing happens on Arch Linux 2010.05 (which includes openssh 5.4p1-4) as on alpine-2.0.3. I guess this might be a bug in ssh and/or my key, which was generated on Alpine 2.1 (edge as of Oct 31).

This might be a false alarm... http://blog.lysender.com/2010/02/working-with-github/ indicates that this might be normal behaviour w/github server.
