Hello

Often remote ssh connection fails due to unreliable wifi etc, and I see corrupted terminal output.

Could ssh exits contain \n\n to get past any trailing output from the other machine?

ubuntu@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx:~/$ 
packet_write_wait: Connection to xx.xx.xx.xx port 22: Broken pipe
jonny@ubuntu1404:~/
[0] 0:bash*               "ip-xx-xx-xx-xx" 06:41 07-Mar-17 
jonny@ubuntu1404:~/
jonny@ubuntu1404:~/



Could it be exchanged to output some more lines, eg

packet_write_wait: Connection to xx.xx.xx.xx port 22: Broken pipe
Connection closed
Exit
jonny@ubuntu1404:~/


Let me know if this would be acceptable, and I can prepare a patch

I am using
ssh -V
