I see just one instance.
I also looked at the event log and they fail with:

sshd: PID xxx: fatal: fork of unprivileged child failed

Firewall has exceptions for both TCP and UDP.

It is more randomic than that. Just now I tried again and I have about 
one in two, but sometimes I get two good connections in a row.
Some days ago it was exactly one on and one off. I tried about 20 times, 
but that doesn't hold anymore.
Now I got a streak of 6 good connections in a row...
... perhaps in a few days it will cure itself completely... :)

Tomorrow morning I will try again after another reboot and I will also 
try backuppc.
