2.5.1p1 logout hangs after RHL crond start

[John Dunlap]

The RHL 6.2 command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start" prevents
clean logout from compiled version of OpenSSH-2.5.1p1 on all
hosts.

The command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop" is OK.
This occurs for interactive or command line requests.

ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop  ---  works every time
ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start ---  hangs every time

Control-C will terminate the hung command.  The command executed
correctly.  When doing this interactively no trouble is noted until
logout time.

Using ssh and sshd with ssh2 protocol using ssh-agent on various
i586 i686 boxes.
