... or a disk-space or disk usage quota issue in your .ssh directory. This prevents ssh from appending onto known_hosts, and (naturally) it will fail utterly silently.

Why someone didn't build a disk-space / quota space hard error message into the kernel I have no idea. This has cost me more time than any other problem with 'nix, since diskspace problems cross into almost every functional border in unix and, well, *any* static os.
