Stange sshd problem... bug?

[Chris Rapier]

As a note: if this does work then its important to realize that you 
haven't fixed the problem you have only identified what the problem is. 
This really only swaps one set of problems for a much larger set of 
problems (albeit one of performance rather than connection establishment).

Its a neat problem though.
