Problem with 2.2.19pre9 (Connection closed.)

[Markus Germeier]

Hello,

after upgrading to 2.2.19pre9 (+ 2 NFS-patches, IPv6 enabled) idle
connections tend to shut down without a visible reason:

client->ssh server
Last login: Mon Feb 19 2001 18:01:12 from client.domain
Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.8       Generic February 2000
You have mail.
server->Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed.).
Connection to server closed.
client->uname -a
Linux client 2.2.19pre9 #6 Thu Feb 15 09:26:46 MET 2001 i686 unknown

Here is the relevant part of a tcpdump from this session: (The whole
