I mentioned a problem like this on the list a while back.  Brian suggested
that the problem is due to the use of a PTY and the stdin being closed.  I
haven't had a chance to test this hypothesis yet.  You can pretty easily,
though.  Reconfigure the slave with usePTY=False and see if the problem
goes away.
