Problemes with ControlPersist

Hello,

There seems to be just a bit to do with the latest openssh (5.8p1) and
ControlPersist. I encountered two problems:

1. When I use ControlPersist in combination with ProxyCommand to reach a
   other host over that proxy I get the following message:
      Bad packet length 1397966893.
      Disconnecting: Paket corrupt

   When I fist ssh to the proxy, close the connection (that persists in
   background) and ssh to the target everything works well.

2. When I use cvs over ssh and use ControlPersist and ProxyCommand every
   ssh command will block at the end for exact the time I specify in
   ControlPersist. (Note that I have to start the proxy first like I
   described in the first issue.)

For the later problem I think that maybe putting the persistent ssh in a
separate process group would help. For the first problem I have no idea.
But maybe the problems are the same.

Regards
   Klaus Ethgen

Ps. Please set me to Cc as I don't read the list.
