This is a known problem. Some native NT tools behave rather strange
when called from terminal based applications. The connection between
a remote tool (ssh) and it's server (sshd) is implemented with pseudo
terminal which themselves are implemented as pipes. Not all native NT
tools are able to deal with that.
