This definitely isn't an XFree86 bug or problem. It's either misconfiguration of either your ssh server, your ssh client, or some part of the internet infrastructure in between the two machines such as a firewall, VPN, or other similar thing would be my best guess. Try lowering your MTU on the client side to see if that affects the problem or not. You're better off however using a more appropriate mailing list such as valhalla-list. -- Mike A.
