So it wouldn't surprise me you get this over wireless.

I've never been able to make a reliable test-case for it to ever properly 
diagnose the issue.

Bacula was transmitting data in one direction or the other and ssh was not.  
That is the only explanation.

If the comm line breaks while during a transmission whether it is ssh or 
Bacula, the connection will be dropped -- unless ssh has special code to 
either ignore errors or re-establish a connect, which from what I have seen 
of ssh code is not the case.
