Public key auth only without proper private key loops

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to a host that requires public key authentication and doesn't accept
any other authebtication method.
2. If you do not have the proper private key on the phone, connectbot will
endlessly try to connect without the key thus receiving always the same output.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Connectbot behaves well, as it doesn't get stuck and you can interrupt the
attempts by choosing disconnect from the menu. However, imho, it would be more
useful to stop it after one, or if you feel that this failure may be due to a
wrong server answer, a couple of attempts.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
1.5.5 2009.9.6

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
GNU/Linux 32bit

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?

Please provide any additional information below.
It's not really a problem since as I already told you can interrupt the loop.

Also have this problem if the setting is to not store keys in memory and the
connection is set to use already unlocked keys only.

This seems to be a duplicate of Issue 212
