I'm sorry I mistook your problem.

No, they're basically standard applications using the console to
read/write characters on stdout/stdin.
So if I understand, your problem is that channel_poll is blocking. This
is indeed a problem and should not happen. In order to help us find out
what happens, could you:

-tell which version of libssh you're using (master from git, release, ...)
-call the ssh_options_set() function with the verbosity level set to the
highest level (which dumps a call trace) and attach the output in your mail
-compiling your application with full debugging symbols, running your
program in gdb, then ^C it when the problem happens, then dump a C/P of
the result of the following command:
bt

Thanks,

Aris
