But the network connection is already open at this point.


If the user takes too long to enter a password then the subsequent connection fails, eg:

cvs diff -l -c 
SSH server authentication
Password:  ********* (<-- from registry)
FATAL ERROR: Server unexpectedly closed network connection
Couldn't connect to remote server - plink errorcvs [diff aborted]: Connection to server failed



It would be good if the client retried/reopen the connection automatically, and/or the cvsagent should have a 
timeout. 


We do this timeout on a dialog box with the crash dialog, so could copy the code from there easily.


I think the password dialog should timeout and then display a 'password timed out, please press cancel and 
try again' type message.
