cvs hangs using ssh

[Lynn Quam]

I am using ssh for cvs communication to a remote repository.  I have
set CVS_RSH=ssh and CVSROOT is of the form 
":ext:<user>@<remote-host>:<directory>".

Everything appears to run correctly except that cvs hangs at the end
of all transactions.  I must type control-C to the Unix shell to kill
the process.  I do not have this problem when using :pserver
connections to remote repositories.

Is this a problem with cvs, ssh, or something else?

My configuration is:

RedHat Linux 7.2, Linux kernel 2.4.7-10

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)

OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f
