This chapter lists a number of common error messages which PuTTY and

-\H{errors-portfwd-space} \q{Out of space for port forwardings}
-
-PuTTY has a fixed-size buffer which it uses to store the details of
-all \i{port forwardings} you have set up in an SSH session. If you
-specify too many port forwardings on the PuTTY or Plink command line
-and this buffer becomes full, you will see this error message.
-
-We need to fix this (fixed-size buffers are almost always a mistake)
-but we haven't got round to it. If you actually have trouble with
-this, let us know and we'll move it up our priority list.

\H{errors-cipher-warning} \q{The first cipher supported by the server is
... below the configured warning threshold}
if PuTTY decides of its own accord to send data: due to a repeat key
exchange in SSH-2 (see \k{config-ssh-kex-rekey}) or due to
keepalives (\k{config-keepalive}).
+
+\H{errors-cannotassignaddress} \q{Network error: Cannot assign requested
+address}
+
+This means that the operating system rejected the parameters of the
+network connection PuTTY tried to make, usually without actually
+trying to connect to anything, because they were simply invalid.
+
+A common way to provoke this error is to accidentally try to connect
+to port 0, which is not a valid port number.
