I've seen this on a few systems, there is a bug in
Dropbear's channel-closing code I think. I'm not sure of an
easy workaround, though I'm working on refactoring the
channel code to be clearer and (hopefully) more correct.

You could possibly see if older versions of Dropbear have
the same problem.
