As I said, the problem is intermittent. However, once I have the problem, it
occurs reliably. Here is some verbose output, which isn't very helpful...

U:\>sftp -v jdeifik AT www DOT weasel DOT com
Connecting to www.weasel.com...
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
debug1: Connecting to www.weasel.com [208.97.189.139] port 22.

U:\>sftp -v -v jdeifik AT www DOT weasel DOT com
Connecting to www.weasel.com...
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to www.weasel.com [208.97.189.139] port 22.

U:\>sftp -v -v -v jdeifik AT www DOT weasel DOT com
Connecting to www.weasel.com...
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to www.weasel.com [208.97.189.139] port 22.

I have to use control-C to stop this, as it hangs after the 
'connecting to' line.

This problem is independent of where I am connecting to.

For example:

U:\>sftp -v -v -v jdeifik AT torrent
Connecting to torrent...
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to torrent [192.168.47.110] port 22.

also hangs...
