I added a couple of extra debugging lines in mux.c, recompiled and ran it.

debug3: link( "/tmp/sshcontrol-f1b458a85cd2aa9d5c115abc12afee9f485ad6b0.XSLUj2BsBSDnTkhZ","/tmp/sshcontrol-f1b458a85cd2aa9d5c115abc12afee9f485ad6b0" ): 0
debug3: unlink( "/tmp/sshcontrol-f1b458a85cd2aa9d5c115abc12afee9f485ad6b0.XSLUj2BsBSDnTkhZ" ): 0

The ": 0" is the value of the int returned by the two calls. They are successful according to LINK(3POSIX) and UNLINK(3POSIX).

Seth Arnold is right. OpenSSH is doing the things in the right way.

But somehow the kernel (or could it be the libc?) is messing stuff around with link() and/or unlink().
