Using truss, successfull output is as follows:

time()                                          = 985758526
poll(0xEFFFC790, 1, 67000)      (sleeping...)
poll(0xEFFFC790, 1, 67000)                      = 1


When the program fails, the command on the remote machine
is still not finished, but the output from truss is:

time()                                          = 985758587
poll(0xEFFFC790, 1, 6000)       (sleeping...)
poll(0xEFFFC790, 1, 6000)                       = 0

So the difference is the "poll =" expression. What
does this mean?

(BTW, Timeout was set to 60 seconds).
