----------------------+--------------------
 I think I found a bug in direct_tcpip.c

 This is the problematic section. It tries to send "len" bytes stored in
 "buf" on a channel.

 {{{
 235 wr = 0;
 236 do {
 237 i = libssh2_channel_write(channel, buf, len);
 238 if (i < 0) {
 239 fprintf(stderr, "libssh2_channel_write: %d\n",
 i);
 240 goto shutdown;
 241 }
 242 wr += i;
 243 } while(i > 0 && wr < len);
 }}}

 However, when libssh2_channel_write fails to write everything at once,
 then this code will try writing the data in buf again from the beginning!
 Also, I don't know why it aborts when i=0, this would just ignore some of
 the data.

 I think this code should rather like this:

 {{{
 235 wr = 0;
 236 while (wr<len) {
 237 i = libssh2_channel_write(channel, buf+wr, len);
 238 if (i < 0) {
 239 fprintf(stderr, "libssh2_channel_write: %d\n",
 i);
 240 goto shutdown;
 241 }
 242 wr += i;
 243 }
 }}}

 Please excuse that I include the code inline in this ticket, I am not very
 familiar with git, but I wanted to report this issue nevertheless.
