nautilus had printed:

The authenticity of host 'remote.example.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

on standard out and was waiting for me to type 'yes'. I assume this is a
bug/immaturity on the part of nautilus and/or gnome-vfs-sftp. (And it
probably wouldn't have happened if I'd ever used SFTP to log into that
host before -- I've always used plain ssh. Either that or nautilus is
storing its own known-host data somewhere different.)
