[TxMt] rmate stopped working with alpha.9459

[Brian Powell]

I have been using rmate via an ssh tunnel with a several of my clusters since the 2.0 alpha first appeared; however, since updating to alpha.9459, rmate reports:

connect_to localhost port 52698: failed.
/share/frinkraid/powellb/bin/rmate:153:in `readline': end of file reached (EOFError)
	from /share/frinkraid/powellb/bin/rmate:153:in `connect_and_handle_cmds'
	from /share/frinkraid/powellb/bin/rmate:192
	from /share/frinkraid/powellb/bin/rmate:191:in `fork'
	from /share/frinkraid/powellb/bin/rmate:191

I updated the rmate to the latest standalone from https://github.com/textmate/rmate#standalone and the exact same error is reported. My .ssh/config has always been configured as:

Host REDACTED.HOST1
  RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
  SendEnv RMATE_*


Anyone else having trouble or suggestions? I have never had an issue with it before. The only change was updated texmate to 9459, then updating to the latest rmate hoping it would clear the problem.

Thanks,
Brian
