I suspect you might have the problem referred to in 
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9780

If you'd mentioned the OS of the remote system you are running the xterm 
client on, I'd be more sure.

Does the xterm not produce any error output in the ssh session when it dies?

This issue hasn't really been progressed, because it's hard to duplicate 
without access to a remote system which shows this problem.  A wireshark 
capture of the packets exchanged with the remote system leading up to the 
failure might be useful.
