OK, after really long investigation i've found the reason why it
hangs. Now i'm not sure either client or server is the reason of that.
The following stuff is happening. When "close" is received by server,
it closes pipes (stdout, ...) connected to the program and waits for
program termination. When pipe closed from one side, other side will
get SIGPIPE signal when attempting to write, but...before each write
it waits for [interval] seconds so that's why it hangs for the same
time. I'm talking about iostat, mpstat. I think it should be
documented very clearly in libssh2 docs for further users. The same
happens for "eof" request.
