so try this, guaranteed to hang the exit of the session for 
openssh, but ssh-1.2.27 likes it fine.

file tst.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

while (1) {
  sleep 1;
}

# end

at the keyboard, just type

> perl tst.pl &
> exit


Like I said, ssh-1.2.27 works fine
OpenSSH_2.9.9p2 is guaranteed to hang

This means that a daemon can never be stopped and restarted from the 
keyboard without a hang or screwing around with special exit 
procedures. Looks, sounds, smells like a bug to me.
