kde 3.2 konsole is automatically disconnecting ssh/rsh sessions

Hi.

I use kde 3.2 on freebsd with konsole version 1.3. I have the default
compile options for the freebsd kde3.2 ports.

After upgrading to kde 3.2 all of my konsole ssh/rsh sessions started to
auto-logout after a brief period of time. The same behavior does not
happen in xterm or other terms, and changing tcsh's autologout variable
has no effect on konsole's behavior. I could not find a setting in konsole
that will disable this. Is this a known bug or a new feature? If it is a
feature how do I disable it?

I don't subscribe to kde-nonlinux so please cc me on any response.

Thanks.
