By default the remote processes will shutdown after 30 minutes if they 
have not gotten a message from the main process.  This is controlled by 
the `protocol-timeout` option.

It's a bit unusual for them to get stuck like this -- usually they get 
an eof and exit immediately.  Definitely looks like something was up 
with SSH.
