It seems your session completed fine, and a spurious error was raised
as the server was quitting.  I'm not sure what is causing this
(doesn't happen for me, but I don't have a modem/dsl), but it seems
the server now is not officially closing its stdin/stdout.  Could that
be the problem?  You may want to try the attached patch and tell me if
it helps at all.  I don't think it will hurt anything.  Also, if the
server has any standard error output, that might be helpful.
