That should never happen. What failed?
IIRC it would simply terminate claiming the remote host had dropped the
connection. There wasn't any useful information even with -vvvv. I just
kinda guessed it must have something to do with the langpacks,
installed glibc-langpack-en, and it started working again immediately.
I can't reproduce the problem with 'LC_ALL=C ssh (somewhere)', so I
can't immediately dig into it any more.
