Thanks for following up on this. It does seem like openssh is dropping your connection in a half-duplex way, though we don't know why. A bug in openssh sounds like a reasonable candidate...

Especially given how old your version is. Certainly I would try with a more recent version. If it clears up the problem, I'm willing to assume it's an openssh bug that's been fixed. If it doesn't, then it may be an open openssh bug, or perhaps there is some problem in the way we're invoking it on Windows. We can investigate that path if need be.
