This could have worked as well.  What seems to be broken is the
intermittant use of single, short-term commands, mixed with keeping
the shell idle for long periods of time.  It works initially, but as
soon as the system gets a little more busy (or whatever might trigger
that problem, i haven't found out yet), it suddenly stops working.

A single long-running command will likely work, see my experience with
starting yet another shell inside the EHS.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
