This happens to me with Linux boxes all the time if I have a root session
and have restarted some daemon with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/blahd restart". The
Linux rc.d scripts don't redirect stdin/stdout/stderr so when you log
out, the ssh session stays up until those file descriptors get closed.
Restarting the daemon with ">/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null" fixes this. Fixing
the Linux startup scripts would be a better way to fix it.
