This normally happens when you have a service wanting to keep a connection open to a Terminal. Eg to display output from standard out, or standard error. Are you by chance starting any services manually when you see this happen ?
Not at all. Yesterday, for instance, I simply fired up konqueror to check out a layout question. It was open maybe two minutes, then I shut it down and quit the ssh session - or tried to.
This problem has only occurred recently - maybe for the last 2 weeks. Apart from updates nothing has been changed on the server. I'm not doing anything complex when I ssh in - it's mostly when I simply want to check something that needs root permissions (no, I don't log in as root ;-) - it's not permitted ). For user-level I have permanent mounts to my /home and a data directory.
