After login to shellinaboxd, subsequent ssh to NetBSD machine causes disconnect after login. #189

shellinabox is installed on an Ubuntu 12.04 web server.  I am able to log into 
said webserver no problem from my browser.  From the command line of the 
webserver, if I then ssh to another host running the NetBSD operating system, 
the distant sshd receives an eof and logs me off immediately after displaying 
the remote /etc/motd:

-----

It makes no difference if I ssh to any number of non-NetBSD machines in a 
chain.  For example, I can log into the shellinabox host, then ssh to linux1, 
then to linux2, then to linux3, and finally to NetBSD1 and I still get 
disconnected in the above manner.   The problem also exists if I invoke 
shellinaboxd with "--service=/:SSH:mail".

If I ssh to the shellinabox host from another ssh client (not shellinabox 
through a browser), I can then ssh to the NetBSD hosts with no issue.

I can work around this issue by pre-configuring an active ssh session to my 
NetBSD hosts within a 'screen' session, and connect to this 'screen' session 
after logging into the shellinabox host but over the long run, that will be 
sub-optimal.

I am willing to help with debugging.
