Summary: libssh2_poll_channel_read()

Initial Comment:
I believe the following code demonstrates a bug with
the function libssh2_poll_channel_read(). This function
should return 1 when data is waiting to be read, but
always seems to return 0. In the program below I get a
return of zero, but I immediately and successfully read
data.

I need this function to work properly so I can write a
wrapper over libssh2 so I can use it in a
multi-threaded application.

Chris
