Okay, I figured this out (gdb attach is your friend). It's a Solaris
bug. You can't select() for 522 weeks, since select() is implemented
in terms of poll() which takes a millisecond timeout, and 522 weeks is
more than 2^31 milliseconds.
I don't think I really want to do anything about this. I still think
you shouldn't have experienced an idle timeout if you had no
IdleTimeout set in your sshd_config, so if you can reproduce that, I'm
interested.
