ssh host echo bla | echo bla

[Carson Gaspar]

Under Solaris 8 OpenSSH 2.5.2p3 (I know, I'll upgrade RSN, but that means 
porting my patches forward...), I get:

$ ssh -1 localhost od /bsd | true
carson at localhost's password:
od: cannot open /bsd: No such file or directory

$ ssh -2 localhost od /bsd | true
carson at localhost's password:
od: cannot open /bsd: No such file or directory

It _seems_ like people are saying that since stdout has been closed, ssh 
shouldn't bother connecting. As my above example shows, stderr _is_ still 
connected, and can still receive useful data. Please be _very_ careful 
before you mess with this.
