You wouldn't have to do that! Just  rebuild OpenSSH with debugging
enabled (CFLAGS=-g ./configure) and kill it with a SIGBUS when it hangs.

This should leave a corefile which you can extract a trace from using:

echo "bt" | gdb /path/to/program /path/to/core

- From the directory where the source is installed.

Also handy would be an strace of the process:

strace -o trace.file -p PID

(replace PID with the pid of the client or server).

Either of these would be great.

Thanks,
Damien
