I hope someone will validate it and either apply the patch or come up with a "better" way to solve the problem. As it is now, (1.6.6) svn cannot be used via svn+ssh (and probably other tunnels) under the conditions I outlined.

The problem is that sshd is waiting for ITS protocol (SSH) to complete before things wind down. Maybe the other end (the client) has more data to send? Since the client didn't initiate the SSH closing phase (due to it having been instantly killed) things at the server are in an indeterminate state, and eventually (many minutes later) the chain of processes on the server exit through error paths.
