My tests confirm that disabling the forking-server code avoids the
problem.

We need more information about what condition causes the hang. I'll
call it condition A.

I think there are two issues:
1. Under condition A, bzr(lib) cannot shut down an SSH connection, and
even ^C ing it is painful.
2. The forking-server code creates condition A.

Until we know what condition A is, we don't know whether it's
legitimate for Launchpad to create it or for bzr to hang in it.
