Just to say, me too!

Dropbear is the default client and server for the familiar distribution for handhelds running linux.

There have been a few issues that the familiar group has had to patch over and over again. For example, 2048-bit keys can cause a core dump on the dropbear ssh client, and only because dropbear does not allocate enough space for a key that size. But that issue is minor when one wants ssh on a small device (and let me tell you, ssh on a small device is handy).
