It is true. It is signaling *an* sshd instance, but not the primary.
That is why my connection gets killed and the config file is not read. I
have not had a chance to track down 'killproc' yet, but it is on my
list. If it essentially goes through a psgrep to find the process, that
could underlie the problem. I have to be somewhat cautious in playing
here since it is a remote machine and I do not have physical access if I
end up shutting down ssh.
