Are you running Fabric on Windows? Because I have a feeling that
there's a difference in how threading works on win32 vs. *nix, but I
don't have access to a Windows box so I can't test that theory (or my
code, for that matter).

Appart from that, stuff like the version of paramiko, OSes, what SSH
server you connect to, is good to know when trying to figure this one
out. Also, the version of Fabric and some fabfile code with the shell
output you get.
