Out of curiosity, why do you have such a large buffer to begin with? I've not
seen any benefit with more than 1MB even when speaking over high latency high
bandwidth links.

And related, do you still get problems if you (as a temporary work-around) use
a smaller buffer?

Sounds like something in the SFTP read functionality is still buggy then...

Can anyone repeat these issues on Linux? I really want to get a proper recipe
done first so that we can test fixes against it in a somewhat controlled
manner.

I'll admit I haven't tried this much myself recently, as my time has been
rather limited. Now I intend to ship a 1.3.0 release and then I hope we can
get some time to work on fixing these annoying problems!
