Maybe so, but what do we expect from ssh/plink which should happen
when the connection closes, that might not happen with plink?
E.g., if I run 'plink ... "cat foo"', the processes created on the
remote disappear immediately as soon as 'cat' finishes its job. Same
if I log in and type Ctrl-D, or just close the window where plink runs
interactively. What is different about the connections made by Tramp
or the test suite?
