I've not seen this problem, but I'll note that all my bzr+ssh access
is done using public-key authentication (using Pageant, the key agent
for Putty). So maybe if you can configure public-key auth it will
improve matters (as well as being convenient).

What kind of ssh server are you talking to? I've only tried Bazaar
with openssh (running on Linux or Windows / Cygwin via the copssh
package).
