No command prompt after SSH/SCP

Recently whenever I log out of an SSH session, or copy something using SCP, I get no response from my shell.

Running with ssh -v showed no errors when exiting.

Normally I could deal with this, but I believe it's causing errors elsewhere when scripts try to download things from external servers, and the process hangs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
