Uhm...  I don't know why I didn't think of that...

Oh, now I know -- you have to tear the ssh connection down manually
after, uh, stuff has been downloaded, don't you?  I use diald to take
the connection up/down, so that I can pretend that I'm on a machine
that's connected to the net.

Hm...  Perhaps I can run ssh off of gnus-agent-plugged-hook, and then
tear it down from gnus-agent-unplugged-hook?  That should work, I think.
