ssh still hangs, but now cat gives an error message:

cat: write error: No space left on device

It is realy ssh, that hangs, since the following
#ssh remote.server.org "tar -cz /home" | (cat > /backup/remote.tar.gz || echo ready)
gives

cat: write error: No space left on device
ready

PS: I also tried it under AIX (IBM UNIX) and different shells -- no
    difference.
