All those SSH sessions (as well as the one in tcp stream 4) use a SSHv2 server and a SSHv1.99 client. Somehow wireshark is not able to dissect these sessions correctly. Googling on version number "SSH-1.99-3.2.9" results in a lot of people having interconnection problems. It looks like this version might be following the RFC a bit differently. Maybe that's why Wireshark is also having trouble. Could you file a big report on bugs.wireshark.org and attach the capture file. Then it can be looked at more thoroughly as I'm not able to spend time on it now....
