Ahh.. an excellent scheme, flawed only by the fact that it doesn't
work :) Doing a "pstree" indicates that sshd is indeed running the cvs
command, and attaching an strace to this instance of CVS shows that
(again) it's waiting for a read on FD 0 to complete. On the client
machine, cvs has started ssh, and this is also waiting for a read to
complete. So it looks like ssh is the problem here?

I've got hold of the "hang on exit" patch for OpenSSH and applied
that, but that doesn't seem to help at all.

Cheers,

Simon
