[changing to openssh-unix-dev]

i haven't used 10.20 for a long time.  i'm currently only working with
11.11.

i don't know if select() is restarted when SA_RESTART on 10.20, but i'd
guess it is.  while 2.5.2p2 has the SA_RESTART change, it would be best to
test with 2.9.

so:

does 10.20 hang with 2.9 without the patch?  with the patch?
