My previous post appeared in a strange format in the mailing list
archive. I guess I should have sent it in plain text. Here is is again.
I hope this is more readable.

==============================
Greetings.
How well is libssh2 supposed to work in multithreaded programs?
I'm using version libssh2-0.15-20070524, which is relatively recent. I
built it on Solaris 9 with the C compiler from Sun Studio 11.
Attached is a little program based on the example that demonstrates a
problem I have encountered. I build this program with Sun Studio 11's
C++ compiler because my goal is to use libssh2 in a C++ application.
The problem is that I can only establish an sftp session if I do it in
the main thread.
When I run the program with no command line parameters, it correctly
establishes an sftp session to a Solaris 10 server that is running the
Sun-provided sshd (which is a version of OpenSSH sshd). When I run the
program with a command line parameter, the program invokes the libssh2
calls in a different thread. In this case, it fails to establish an sftp
session.
I'm sure that I have read somewhere in the mailing list or discussion
forums that someone is using libssh2 and sftp in multithreaded
applications. It seems like I must be doing something wrong.
When my test program fails, it appears that the call to
_libssh2_channel_read(channel, (char *)buffer, 4) at line 235 of sftp.c
is returning -1 instead of the expected value of 4.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Here is a portion of the output when it fails:
