Summary: second channel creation fails

Initial Comment:
As shown in included source code, libssh2 won't create a channel for the second time.

this is what appears in openssh daemon logs:

Feb 26 15:01:34 biuro sshd[3155]: error: buffer_get_string_ret: bad string length 1702663341
Feb 26 15:01:34 biuro sshd[3155]: fatal: buffer_get_string: buffer error
Feb 26 15:01:34 biuro sshd[3155]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user tefnet

on second channel creation in a program, it would return a NULL channel pointer and give no hint in last_error.

software versions:
libssh2-0.18
openssh-4.7_p1
linux-2.6.17.13

I haven't found any other references to direct_state except for this
function. It looks like it's not used. Can we safely skip this part of
code?

There is a quick fix when running a single channel at a time. Changing
libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip_ex() in tunnel.c from:

if (session->direct_state == libssh2_NB_state_idle)

to:

if (session->direct_state == libssh2_NB_state_idle || 1)

fixes the problem. Something with direct_stare is messed up. Investigation
continues...
