ipfw, probably. Sounds like a dynamic rule is timing out in the
middle of your ssh session. You'll either have to switch to using
static rules for ssh, of tweak the dynamic ruleset timing sysctls to
something that suits you better.
If you were running a recent version of -STABLE, you could have tried
the IPFW2 stuff --- it has a "keepalive" feature that prevents this
sort of annoyance. Add:
options IPFW2
to your kernel config, and
IPFW2=yes
to /etc/make.conf, and go through the usual {build,install}procedure.
Cheers,
Matthew
