There's insufficient information here to do anything other than guess, so
here's a guess: perhaps the X11 forward port is busy, the bind fails and that's
the unknown channel?

You can test this with "netcat" on the server.  Make sure there's nothing
listening on port 6010 (use netstat -an), then make netcat listen on that port
("nc -l -p 6010"), connect to the port ("nc localhost 6010") then quit both
netcats.  This should leave port 6010 in a "TIME_WAIT" state (check with
netstat).   

Now quickly try your ssh connection (the TIME_WAIT will only last about 2
minutes).  If this reproduces your problem then it's a known bug that will be
fixed in the 4.3 release.  If it doesn't, then I'm out of ideas.
