Connection dropped with WodSSH & KSH with set -o e (wodSSH / wodSSH.NET)

We have a client who insists on using set -o emacs in their default shell, which breaks with our code that uses WodSSH.

With KSH, if you have set -o emacs or gmacs, the keys are control-p for previous command and control-n for next command. In vi you hit esc once and then k or n will move you backward or forward through the commands. For emacs and gmacs, use control-p or control-n each time.

If I try to connect, I get the banner, then I get dropped right away. Here's a useful extirp from the logs.

Setting connection protocol to SSH AUTO.
Setting the Blocking property to true.

Setting connection authentication type to AUTHTYPE_PASSWORD_ONLY .
Setting port number to 22.
Setting rows to 50.
Setting columns to 512.
Setting timeout to 180.
Setting StripANSI to true.

Works like a charm without set -o emacs.

Any ideas?

Thx
