SSH connection killed by Tab key
Hello,
I have a very weird problem with my ssh connection. After I log on the server for a while, when I wanted to change directory by pressing Tab key to save some typing, my connection to the server is lost!

First I checked my bash-completion setting, which I could not find any problem with, as I use exactly the same setting with my other severs with exactly the same OS (Debian, Linux server1 3.10-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.3-1 (2013-07-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux), where I do not have this problem.

I then checked my shell environment, which is bash for both my default and current shell.

It might be related to my ssh connection configuration on time-out settings, but my ssh connection settings are the same for the other servers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
