I've just now committed my second fix for this problem, and I can now
repeatedly transfer an 840MB file over SCP using the scp_nonblock example.

The libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust() function missed to set the state
variables at times and thus this function would misbehave on repeated invokes.

BTW, while working on this I did a quick performance test for
scp_nonblock/libssh2 versus scp/openssh and this file sent over localhost
takes 27.6 seconds for libssh2 but only 19.2 seconds for openssh... it makes
libssh2 ~40% slower! (and I used a 65000 bytes buffer in the example code)

It wouldn't surprise me if the window size code in libssh2 can be improved
further.

I also found another flaw that I'll post about in a separate thread coming
right up.
