	I noticed that you've got 0.9.10 out - is this addressed
there?  It almost sounds like ssh is having a bit of a keep alive
problem.  I've never tried it that way myself.  Especially when you
mention it can also happen when the connection is established, but there
is a few seconds of silence.

	I'll have to try that...

	What options did you use with ssh/sshd?
