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.
