Given the above, it seems logical the problem is with pipes, and as
1.7.4-1 is has fixes for pipes I tried it out and found a significant
improvement: using 1.7.2-1 I got 16 failures out of 20 attempts to clone
a 17 MByte repo on localhost, using 1.7.4-1 this is down to 3 failures
out of 20 attempts. (1.7.3-1 was not an improvement).
The failures I do get are identical to what I described before: the
demux thread is getting a 0 (= EOF) return from read(stdin, ...), while
the server process is still trying to upload data via ssh.
So, 1.7.4-1 is better, but still has at least one issue remaining.
