That is a concern. More generally I think it's a reason not to sink
too much effort into sophisticated cleanup from signals: first of all
the ssh connection may be dead already, and secondly handling them
safely and reliably in Python is difficult. Not only eintr things,
but also cases like the toomanyconcurrentrequests from trying to clean
up objects that are already in use.
