Hi all,

I am facing a peculiar problem. I want to ssh into a machine and use
some X apps. I have set X forwarding in ssh config. But when I do a 

   $ ssh -X host2

from host1, and run the application (say, galeon/gvim/etc), I get the
display for a couple of seconds. After the machine (host1) hangs---none
of the keys on the keyboard work, mouse does not work and I cannot even
ping the machine from host2. I have to press reset to get it up again
:-(

I checked the docs and did not find any pointers to this sort of a
problem. Has any one else faced this problem and found a solution? Can
some one provide some pointers to ssh and X forwarding?

Regards,
