Unfortunatelly no, it doesn't :(

I ported latest ssh (3.6.1p2-12) and cvs (1.12.5-2) to woody. I run:

  # cvs log | more (or less)

This will produces more than 10000 lines of output. I quit the pager
after looking at the first page. I see:

  cvs [log aborted]: received broken pipe signal

'ps' shows:

  14528 pts/12   S      0:00 ssh dev-cvs cvs server

If I kill the parentless ssh process 14528, I see:

  Killed by signal 15.

Quite the same as before :(
