Thanks. The issue happens repeatedly on this machine, which is connected via Ethernet to residential fiber. I am doubtful of a generic network issue, but I will try an updated SSH client. (The issue does not happen over HTTPS.) In any event, it would be good to have a more informative error message in this kind of situation.
