Just to confirm, this fix works for me as well.

Odd, then, that it I was unable to reproduce the SSH hangs under 2.4.18
even once, despite heavily using it for several days under the same
circumstances. Is there any reason 2.4.x would be better able to recover?
2.5.59 with the fix seems to feel a bit less balky than 2.4.18 without the
fix, so it seemed to me that 2.4.18 had some way of recovering at the cost
of a several second pause in the session.
