Asked another way, is it safe to use libssh2 from a multi-threaded
application. From this mail thread -
http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2010-08/0088.shtml -
it appears that as long as a libssh2_init is not called concurrently we
should be fine. In our application, ssh sessions are initiated only from
a single thread, is this ok ?. Do I need to recompile libssh2 with
-D_REENTRANT so that access to errno is sane ?

Thanks,
