SSH strangeness on 4.9

[Richard Schilling]

I've had similar issues connecting via SSH to a solaris box.  I thought 
it was related to the job I was running on the Solaris box, but never 
did find the answer.  In my case when I exit from the other box the 
connection seems to hang.  The only way to completely terminate is to 
kill the ssh process.

Hope that helps you troubleshoot - when you find the answer please post.
