What do you mean by "die"?  Freezes or crashes?

Two possible reasons come to my mind:  Either the environment is
no good for MiNT (UNIXMODE?) or ssh messes around with the signal mask in
a way that bash doesn't like.

Anyway, I cannot help there a lot.  Building bash on my TT takes several
hours and it leaves no memory for any debugging games.  I hope there is
somebody else who can take care of the problem.
