Error:
Stream error: ssh: unexpected packet in response to channel open: <nil>

Research direction
Start by reproducing the long-running reverse tunnel described for chisel server on version 1.4.0, then compare its behavior with 1.3.1. Trace the handling of SSH channel-open responses associated with the reported error; done means the continuous service no longer requires a restart under the same conditions.
