No, but I have been having the same problem with ssh since upgrading
my kernel after the IPv6 stuff (1.4D? 1.4E?). I have fully recompiled
everything (after upgrading to ELF), including ssh, to no avail. I
even tried explicitly turnig off IdleTimeout in sshd.config.

I suspect something in the IPv6 changes, but I'm not 100% sure.
