Hello Chris,
I am not involved in packaging, just trying to give some
pointers to get better information for the maintainers.

In [1] are several possible actions listed, that could be
used to get more informations.

Just to clarify, host heisenberg is your local system,
from which the connection starts?

If yes, I would propose these actions:

- If possible, install systemd-coredump. Then in the journalctl
   output there should already appear a basic backtrace with
   a crashing process, plus a core gets collected of it and
   stored for some time (e.g. "coredumpctl list" or "coredumpctl gdb").

- Try connecing setting following environment before:
     export MALLOC_CHECK_=3
   That should make stricter checks in the allocator
   and maybe fail earlier.

- You might install debug symbols too, also described in [1].
   With that you could also start the connection inside a debugger:
     gdb -q --args ssh hammercloud-ai-11.cern.ch -v
   And do following actions at the gdb prompt:
       run
       bt
       detach
       quit
   That way the 'bt' command should print a backtrace
   that might help to reproduce the issue.

Kind regards,
Bernhard
