tunneled ssh connection is constantly dropped

[Timo Benk <t_benk@web.de>]

Hi,

I set up an ssh tunnel with the following cmd:
#ssh -g -C -N -L 8080:localhost:80 user@somehost.somedomain.com &

After a few minutes i got the following msg back and the
ssh exits.

Received disconnect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 2: No open channels after
timeout!

I can use the tunnel, but only a few minutes. I also use 
an ssh-agent, maybe that is somehow related with the problem.
If i just open an ordinary ssh session everything works as
expected, even if i let the connection just idle it is not
terminated.

Do you have any ideas what goes wrong?

Thanks in advance,

-timo
