Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry we go this back and forth between all
sorts of weird bugs and errors, but I do believe we will end up with a better
design and better code in the end.

I think this is the key to the problems and I also think I know why this
happens.

_libssh2_channel_write() can now (since my bug fix from a few hours ago)
return more data than what is passed in to it (if a previous call got EAGAIN)
and when it does that, it may confuse the caller greatly and might trigger a
counter wrap into negative.

Tricky.
