Same here. I found that the problem only manifests itself when using the
SSH2 protocol.
When connecting from a machine running 4.5-RELEASE to another one running
4.5-RELEASE or 5.0-CURRENT, the ssh command remains hung just as you
described. However, if the connection is established from a 5.0-CURRENT
system, no message ("waiting for forwarded connections to terminate...")
is displayed after closing the ssh session, but the ssh command *does*
exit when the X11 client terminates.
