For at least two weeks, I have observed a strange error on OpenBSD/amd64
-current, across multiple snapshots and rebuilds from source during
that time:

When several ssh processes are spawned in quick succession, SOMETIMES
one of them hangs in connect(2) and will eventually error out because
connect() to the target host failed.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this at will, but it keeps happening
from time to time.

On one occasion I managed to attach a ktrace -p to a hanging ssh.
Nothing to see there, it eventually returned from connect() with
an error and exited.  I don't think this has anything to do with
ssh itself.

The pattern is that several ssh processes are spawned in parallel
that connect to different hosts--actually the amd64*.p package build
machines.  I have observed this both from home a continent away,
and from amd64.p to amd64-*.p on the same network.
