[libssh2] Failing to create multiple channels in windows

I am using windows XP and visual studio 2003.
Here I am having a problem in windows only.

If I am creating to 'tunneled' channels by using
'libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip'.
The second channel creation fails 'channel2'.

But the first one is successful.

But in Linux the same program is able to create two channels!

My guess, it is a problem since libssh2 is using select(HAVE_SELECT) in
windows.

I am pasting the source code below:-

    }

    }

    if (channel1 == 0)
        bail("Failed channel forwarding: channel1\n");
    else
        printf("channel connected (%x)\n",channel1);

    /*

    In linux we can create the channel successfully
    */

    channel2 = libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip(session, "192.168.1.3", 3306);

    if (channel2 == 0)
        bail("Failed channel forwarding: channel2\n");
    else
        printf("channel connected (%x)\n",channel2);

    libssh2_channel_close(channel1);
    libssh2_channel_free(channel1);

    libssh2_channel_close(channel1);
    libssh2_channel_free(channel1);

    /* Control never gets here */
    return 0;
}
