It hangs both with and without the patch.  Every time.  (It certainly
doesn't act like a race condition, as someone else mentioned.)

Just to refresh memories, this is the symptom:

  box1$ ssh somewhere
  somewhere$ sleep 500 &
  somewhere$ logout
  (hangs)

Then, if I kill the sleep process in another window, the connection is
immediately terminated and everything is back to normal.

Using "nohup sleep 500 >/dev/null 2>&1 &" does the same thing.

Using bash2's "disown" command doesn't help, either.
