Description

Mosh's timeout banner at the top of the screen does not identify the host(s) involved. (mosh-client doesn't ever say which client or server hosts are involved, I think.) This can be momentarily confusing when you're using Mosh both into and out of a jump box, and one of the links dies-- you can't tell which Mosh session is offended at the situation. This is a pretty minor issue, but it just happened to me.
