Ah, neat trick - thanks. In this particular case I could also just run the
test and attach gdb as it would hang in _libssh2_wait_socket() ... :-O

Yeah. Switching to the select() code doesn't change the behavior.

I might do that. I'll dig around some further first to see if I can figure it
out. We do run tests all the time with curl using libssh2 and they run just
