Debug output, with comments:
Get this once i'm in:

Now I start the "nohup job" with ./nohup somescript &
I then try to exit the ksh shell.
Ksh first tells you "You have running jobs" ( normal...)
then I give the second exit.
At that point, my ksh becomes a <defunct> process (zombie).
sshd apparently gets the SIGCHLD:
>debug1: Received SIGCHLD.
But, my ssh session is "hung".

sshd itself is running poll() over and over on fd0,1,2.

If I then kill the nohupped process ( from another session ), the session
is closed:
>>debug1: End of interactive session; stdin 20, stdout (read 584, sent
584),
>>stderr 0 bytes.
>>debug1: Command exited with status 0.
>>debug1: Received exit confirmation.
>>debug1: session_close: session 0 pid 24164
>>debug1: session_pty_cleanup: session 0 release /dev/pts/12
Please let me know if you need more detail.
I'll be happy to help any way I can.
