Well it could be, I had seen that but didn't think it was related
because a) it happens with any command (I foolishly thought that may
have been related _only_ to sleep :P ); b) it works on some of the
systems I am testing which are all running the exact same version of
OpenSSH (2.5.1); c) the hang lasts a lot longer than 20 seconds (I
waited for 10 mins in one case, and it still hadn't exited).

But I am using 2.5.1p1.  Was that a typo, or is there a patch available
for the 2.5.1p1 release?

Thanks again.
