A quick google myself shows this to be an error to do with the key exchange in ssh, a GEX request has three values:
minimal size in bits of an acceptable group
preferred size in bits of the group the server will send
maximal size in bits of an acceptable group
It feels like your sshd is trying to indicate a preferred size larger than it's maximal size.
First instinct: Someone put a rubbish sshd in place of the standard sun one, or it's a bung patch on sun's one.
Second thoughts: Someone installed a dodgy sshd as a backdoor / password snooper
Third thought: Check the config in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for crazy entries, also consider blowing away your host key and regenerating it (sshd host key, not ssh auth keys)
Other thoughts:
pkgchk, cksum against a known good sshd someplace, ldd to see what libraries it's using (OpenSSL vs SUNWSSL vs EVILHAX0Rssl)

Say I write something like the following:

done
I want the output to be:

Instead I get something like:

Why I get bad replace when using eval?
$ map0=( "0" "0000" "0")
$ i=0
$ eval echo \${map$i}
0000
$ a=`eval echo \${map$i}` !!!error happens!!!
bash: ${map$i}: bad substitution
How to resolve it ?

bup-margin
bup-margin(1) General Commands Manual bup-margin(1)
NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin
SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...]
DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two
entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids.
For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit
hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by
its first 46 bits.
The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits,
that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits
with far fewer objects.
If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if
you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits.
OPTIONS
--predict
Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer
from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm.
--ignore-midx
don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict.
EXAMPLE
$ bup margin
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
40
40 matching prefix bits
1.94 bits per doubling
120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining
4.19338e+18 times larger is possible
Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets
like yours, all in one repository, and we would
expect 1 object collision.
$ bup margin --predict
PackIdxList: using 1 index.
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
915 of 1612581 (0.057%)
