One ssh hangs on exit, the other doesn't

[Matthew Dillon]

ssh won't exit unless all virtual links, such as the X forwarding, are also
gone.  I think there are some bugs related to that (I'm pretty sure it
isn't dragonfly specific).  So running with X forwarding can cause the
situation you describe.
