#9246: Cyberduck fails to handle PKA with 8192-bit private key

Dear developers,
Yes, I know this might sound absurd, but since PuTTY is handling 8192-bit
private key very well, I think it would be good to see Cyberduck also
support key size of 4096+.
So, here are some details:[[BR]]
I generated a new pair of key using my FreeBSD machine's bundled OpenSSH*:
{{{ssh-keygen -trsa -b8192}}}. Then I imported the key into PuTTYgen,
saved as PuTTY Private Key format.[[BR]]
Now, PuTTY handles this very well; I can log into both FreeBSD and Debian
machines I have. Even logging into each other using OS bundled SSH client
was successful. Only Cyberduck is complaining about the key size. (I
attached the complaint Cyberduck was quacking.)
I hope to see Cyberduck supporting this soon. :)
