           Summary: X forwarding won't start when a command is executed in
                    background
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.2p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: t8m at centrum.cz


This is actually a regression against openssh-4.1p1.

Try: ssh -Y user at host "(sleep 5; xterm) &"

After 5 seconds it will print: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0

It will work fine on openssh-4.1p1 server.
