sshd unhandled SIGALRM (resend)

[Andrew Gaul]

sshd will die from an unhandled SIGALRM if you allow SSH1 connections,        
ssh in, HUP sshd, and don't ssh in again for KeyRegenerationInterval.         
The HUP handler calls exec which resets signal handlers but persists          
alarm timers.  Chapter and verse:
