You can prevent the re-exec by adding "-r" to sshd's command line.

OK, that worked. So it looks like's definitely happening at the re-exec,

raw SSH coding is pretty rusty. Any ideas other than "run it from inetd"?

You can run sshd as a daemon with -r too.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
