I restarted sshd last night to reset a keep alive parameter in the hopes
that it would alleviate the problem with many open stalled ssh
connections.  I carefully tested the connection to make sure that it
was still up but apparently it died sometime thereafter.

It seems to be flaky.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  It's
going to change soon, so I'm not too worried.

I restarted sshd.  Wish I knew what stopped it to begin with.  It was
probably me but I don't see how I did it.  I just used a
"service sshd restart".

I tried it again just now and it restarted sshd just fine.  Weird.
