try this

   debuglog = open "/tmp/debuglog.#{ $$ }", 'w'
   debuglog.sync = true

   stdout, stderr =
     session.execute("#{ cmd }") do |o,e|
       debuglog << (o || e)
     end

then do a tail -f of the debuglog as it's being produced.  perhaps this will
help tell you if the cmd has gone into an infinite loop...  if that's the case
i can't really help.  if it is not the case and your cmd completes you've
found a bug in the session lib.
