1.2.31

[Homer Wilson Smith]

    Running SunOS 4.1.4 and ssh 1.2.31 with patch for latest
exploit.

    If a simple script is created that never completes,

test.pl
#!/bin/local/bin/perl5
while (1) {
sleep 1;}

    and is executed *IN THE BACKGROUND* with

    ssh machine 'test.pl &'

    The script will execute properly in the background on
the remote machine, but the local ssh will not ever complete thus
hanging.

    This worked fine in 1.2.26

    Bug or new feature?  RTFM?

    Thanks,

    Homer
