Not sure what's going on, but if I use 
make buildworld &
on one of my RPi* hosts and log out or otherwise drop
the connection, the job keeps going. Maybe use of tcsh?

I've put relevant excerpts from /var/log/messages from
ns2.zefox.net (the console host) and nemesis.zefox.com
(the terminal server) at
http://www.zefox.net/~fbsd/tiptrouble/
They've been trimmed to the tip failure timeframe.
 
There is a link to a copy of nemesis's sshd_debug.log file at
http://nemesis.zefox.com/~bob/fbsd/sshd_debug.log
The file seems too big to search interactively via a
browser, but it might be possible to download it in
one pass and then grep locally. For some reason it
isn't timestamped in any way I recognize.

I tried, but the naming is very different from FreeBSD and I
didn't recognize any obvious candidates. I'll look more later.

Meanwhile, the non-ssh-mediated tip session from 
nemesis.zefox.com to ns2.zefox.net's console gpio pins
remains up.

Thanks for reading, and apologies for the cumbersome log
file presentation.
