To give a little bit more information about the problem:  The hangs are
almost immediate, and occur any time there's more than just a few bytes
sent over the connection.  Trying to scp or ftp even a small text file
will cause the connection to hang until it times out.

Somebody emailed me in private and suggested that it might be PMTU
discovery issues, so I turned off PMTU discovery on both ends but it
didn't help.
