When I run a SSH session in konsole and shut down the remote Linux box, the konsole session freezes

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open SSH session to other Linux system
2. Enter command "sudo halt"
3. The other system will issue the message "The system is going down for system halt NOW!
"
4. The local konsole session will not accept any commands anymore. 
5. Ctrl-C does help sometimes. In this case, the message is issued: "Write failed: Broken pipe"
Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
The session should be terminated to allow local commands again.

Thanks for reporting.

This is a knwon issue. The problem is Konsole currently does not put some (potentially) blocking operations into separate thread.
