It's a known OpenSSH problem on various systems. I'm not sure if
the current 2.9p2 shows the same behaviour since I didn't follow
the OpenSSH developers mailing list during vacation. Moreover
there's still another problem in Cygwin related to select() calls
on pipes which nobody could track down to date.
Perhaps you have a chance when you compile OpenSSH by yourself
using socketpairs instead of pipes. Unfortunately socketpairs
are way slower and they don't work on all systems apparently.
