Yes, here. It runs quite perfectly for me, not counted some small
issues I'm currently trying to make reproducable (connection droppings
and so).

Have you set your TERM environment variable to 'linux'? If not you can
do so by adding 'export TERM=linux' somewhere in your startup files.

Are you using binary mounts?

BTW: You should start ssh using the link ssh and not the ssh1
executable. There shouldn't be much difference but you never know. :)
