I think it is more when a program is started and has an open descriptor
to the tty you are connected to.  This is what I see typically

local# ssh remote
remote# programd &
remote# exit

This is where it hangs.
To break this sometimes I can do '~.' and sometimes that fails.  I'm not
sure why ssh would refuse my command to disconnect via that command. 
When this happens my last resort is to simply use the kill command to
kill my ssh client on the local box.
