You're right -- I can't reproduce it now, at least in a Joe System like
that.

However, I'm sure there was something fishy there -- When I had to add the
patch for old Macintosh systems, no amount of /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd
restart after the RPM upgrade would get the clients to be able to log
in.  After I did some process killing and sshd start, it worked just fine 
(and nobody was disconnected in the process).

I'll try if I can reproduce this in similar circumstances (busy day,
30-40 clients connected).
