Hey Krishneil,

I did improve the SSH connection/operation log for avocado, which will 
hopefully make it easier for us to debug the problem you are having. 
Right now it's a Pull Request and it's under review:

https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/pull/698

If by any chance in the meantime you could test this with your machines 
that reproduce the bug you reported, can you merge my branch

git checkout -b lmr-fix-fabric-logging master
git pull https://github.com/lmr/avocado.git fix-fabric-logging

(those instructions can also be found in the pull request itself)

And run the reproducer again? (avocado run --remote-hostname 10.0.x.x 
--remote-username root --remote-password xx sleeptest)

This time, in the top level job directory there should be an ssh.log 
file with detailed information. I hope that the extra info might help 
us solve this problem you're having.

Thanks, and sorry it took me so long to implement this.
