Until the master was restarted, the ssh connection was freezing:

$ strace -f -o strace.out ssh -vvv gforge

Shared connection to scm.gforge.inria.fr closed.

I've attached the strace output (strace.out).

Ctrl-C and Ctrl-\ in the terminal didn't have any effect. However
I could kill ssh with the SIGTERM signal from another terminal.
