While this should work, you may wish to make those changes in
~/.ssh/config, not /etc/ssh_config. Files in /etc are subject to
being overwritten by Mac OS X updates. When ssh is invoked, it runs
/etc/ssh_config first, and then ~/.ssh/config; anything explicitly set
in the latter (your own personal setting) will supersede the former.

And, it's back... SSH sessions drop after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Seems to happen after or on a trip, where I'm changing "Location" in
the Apple menu, using hotel and airport connections (where you login
with a web browser). Also had one complete freeze-up when changing
from WiFi to ethernet. I sense trouble in changing network connections
in 10.5.2.

Will get more data with ssh -v, ssh -v -v

Thanks for all the pointers.
