ssh port forwarding blocks in connect()

[eperez at it.uc3m.es]

Hello,
I've seen that ssh port forwarding blocks in connect()
Is this correct ?

ssh shouldn't block for a single event anywere

This is the problem:
I type:
ssh -L localport0:crahsedserver.com:remoteport0 -L localport1:workingserver:remoteport1 me at myserver.com

If I connect to localhost:localport0 and then to localhost:localport1
the second connection blocks until the first one finish with timeout

I'm using: OpenSSH_3.0.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f
from Debian/3.0

Did you know the problem ?
Is anyone working on this ?
Am I wrong ?

I wish you a Merry Christmas,

                Eduardo
