          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Obey -f even when a muxclient.

To repeat:

Set up to use a master connection to some host.  I have

Host *
      ControlMaster auto
      ControlPath /tmp/%r@%h:%p

in ~/.ssh/config

Then do:

ssh -f -X somehost xterm
ssh -f -X somehost xterm


The first invocation establishes a connexion, and starts a terminal,
then exits.  The second acts as a mux client, starts a terminal, and
does not exit,

I've attached a patch to fix the problem.
