But to be useful, we need to convince distributions to that fork
of OpenSSH. That just doesn't seem practical.

As far as I know, the problem can be fixed at various places. Within CVS
it's inconvenient because it requires something similar to the cvs-ssh
wrapper (but there were noises on the info-cvs list that they were maybe
going to implement such a workaround anyway). IIRC it can be fixed in the
libc as well (IIRC the problem there is to make sure that `fwrite' on
a non-blocking file descriptor works reliably).
