I often ssh using the -L option to set up a port tunnel. (e.g., to the mysql port on the remote box) If I try to exit the ssh connection while another app is still using the tunneled port the ssh connection will stay open, even though I already told it to exit. Once I exit the other app, of course, the ssh connection then closes. Any change you're doing any port forwarding/tunneling?
