Oops, things still hang although it takes longer.  The current version
does not work.  To test, try:

  dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m | ssh -c arcfour stable-site 'cat > /dev/null'

After a minute or two, all network traffic on fxp hangs.  If I down and
then up the interface, it starts working again (transfers in progress
resume also).  No errors or console messages, just traffic stops running
for a while.  Please fix this.
