A couple things to try.  Start your sshd daemon in debug mode 
	# sshd -d
and watch the output when you connect to it.  Also, when you log into
the server, have the client to verbose logging 
	$ ssh -l ken 127.0.0.1 -vv

Another thing would be to see if you have identd running on your client
	$ ps -ax | grep identd
I had all kinds of problems where my ssh sessions would just hang and
stop responding a few minutes into the connection.  Once I started
identd, it's been smooth sailing.
