Hmm, well I'm about to leave work and I started a background job on one of
the Suns, only to notice that the ssh session didn't close - the old problem
regarding background jobs.

To sort that out (and I think the above error) I have left session.c as
supplied with 2.3.0p1 but modified nchan.c at line 100 so that it says:

        switch (c->istate) {
        case CHAN_INPUT_WAIT_DRAIN:
        case CHAN_INPUT_CLOSED:
                break;
        case CHAN_INPUT_OPEN:
  
Perhaps that'll work :-) It seems to. Off home now...

John.
