Upgrade to Dropbear 71
The issue I asked to be fixed is in the new version of dropbear.
The problem was causing robot test code from running remote
commands like ipmitool. I had to work around the issue building
my own private 'requests' robot code. Now that it is fixed
you do not need any special code for Robot test automation
Additional details can be found here...
