Unfortunately still hanging.

The next thing I did, was looking at source and running ssh with 
option "-vv" (should have done this long before :-). This is the relavant
message:

debug1: channel 0: write failed

It stems from a line in function
channel_handle_wfd(channels.c:1294):  chan_write_failed(c);
As expected, "errno" equals "ENOSPC" at this point. I wonder, if it wasn't
wise to abort ssh at this point?


PS: A bit offtopic: Why isn't it allowed/possible to close stdin with
# ssh remote "echo test" <&-
