The patch he applied (also in RC2) should have printed out the text of
the prompts before the match.  From the printout above, no prompt is
coming out.  It is a timeout waiting for the long directory listing to
appear (18k entries), not a problem with known_hosts.

The original 'problem' with known_hosts was mine.  I did not want to
script the multiple paths dealing with known_hosts, so I punted and
turned off the use of known_hosts entirely.  Your solution to treat
known_hosts prompts as errors was the way it should have gone.
