Clearly, the problem is that ssh inherits stdout/stderr pipes when started in -M -N -f mode. This is (partially) a ssh bug partially a desired feature as it wants to pop up interactive dialogs / console prompts in certain cases *after* it starts up.

The solution is to make sure we do something useful after we see SIGCHLD (which the new code *does* see)
