I'm wondering if it's the same thing I had...

1. Go into Putty
2. Click on "Default Settings" in the Saved Sessions. Click Load
3. Go to Connection -> SSH -> Bugs
4. Set "Chokes on PuTTY's SSH-2 'winadj' requests" to On (instead of Auto)
5. Go Back to Session in the treeview (top of the list)
6. Click on "Default Settings" in the Saved Sessions box. Click Save.
