I doubt that's the real problem. When libssh2 is told to use blocking, it does
basically that exact procedure by itself under the hood. Everything internally
in libssh2 is done non-blocking.

Yeah, that's a senseless way to do it.

Yes, you said that already so it's already a known problem.

However, due to what I said above about how blocking is implemented vs
non-blocking, it certainly feels like the bug should be not too hard to fix.
For someone who can repeat it. I can't.
