    Interesting...I can't reproduce this using that exact method, though.  If I
    interrupt (or send a SIGTERM to) the ssh client while it is waiting for a
    password, I just get:
    
    Mar  8 19:02:50 mizar sshd[7895]: Connection closed by 127.0.0.1
    
    It could be something similar (or related to RSA authentication).
