Description

Hello, i have one problem with the library. Everything is working fine, except when i want to handle the client_errorOccured event.

If i disconnect and dispose the connection in it, it seems to have no real effect. We have one firewall which RAM is running full due to the dead ssh connections staying somehow open.

I am using Version 2016.0.0 (cause we are stuck on .net 4.5 due to project requirement).

Is this behaviour known or anything i can do? Thank you in advance :)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in SSH.NET 2016.0.0 on .NET 4.5, focusing on disconnecting and disposing the connection from the client_ErrorOccurred event. Trace the connection lifecycle and verify that the firewall no longer retains the SSH connection after the error is handled.
