Good that it works for you. However, it can't be applied in general. If
somebody has declared RemoteCommand in ~/.ssh/config, it will
fail. Furthermore, it will fail for direct async processes.

You might keep your local setting, or you might use the "sshx" method
instead of "ssh", which sets RemoteCommand. Does this work for you?
