OpenSSH will probably break if you compiled it yourself.  It is a -major-
PITA to switch streams.  You'll probably spend a hour or better resolving
software conflicts.

I think you'll be better off-looking for a set of 6.5.13 discs on eBay.
My experiences with switching streams all resulted in enough stuff
breaking that I had to reinstall (since you can't switch back and
downgrade the OS all at once).
