ssh host echo bla | echo bla

[Ed Phillips]

When I run this on Sol8 with 2.9.9p2 it doesn't even connect to the remote
host...

polycut:~> ssh ldap1 echo bla | echo bla
bla
polycut:~> polycut:~>

If I type "jobs" afterwards...

polycut:~> ssh ldap1 echo bla | echo bla
bla
polycut:~> polycut:~> jobs
[1]    Hangup                        ssh ldap1 echo bla |
polycut:~>

That doesn't seem like a desirable result... :-(
