I am also facing a similar problem. From an xterm on one machine(1), I ssh
to another machine(2) and start some program. The machine(1) immediately
hangs solidly --- keyboard does not work, cannot ping even from another
machine. The only way I can get back is press reset :-( I have set the
ssh forwarding correctly (or so I presume) in /etc/ssh_config and
/etc/sshd_config on both the machines.

Any one has faced this problem and found a solution for it? Kindly post
the same.
