F9 ssh (perhaps tcp) problems

In the last day I started noticing f9's Firefox hanging more and more
frequently.  I would just go catatonic for a while not redrawing the
screen or acting on kbd or mouse input.  Now ssh has started hanging
too.  The difference is that ssh never recovers from that state.  One
has to "~." the connection to blow it away and start a new one.  The
ssh problem seems to be worse on lossy connections like wifi where I
can't get two minutes of service out of it before it hangs.  On a
wired ethernet I can get many minutes before things break.  (And to
forestall any NAT questions, no NAT isn't involved.  I'm ssh-ing to a
local machine that is on the local ether and the AP when I tried to
use WIFI was acting as a pure ethernet protocol bridge.)

Is anyone else seeing this after yesterday's yum updates?  This is
darn annoying.
