Server Issue: Binding File Descriptors for STDIN_FILENO

[Michael Griffin <mrmisticismo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, looking for a little advice or help.
 
I'm using the latest SSHLib on ArchLinux and code::blocks for the IDE with gcc version 4.9.1. 
My issue is probably not related to my specs.
 
I have a telnet daemon that i use from xinetd.  
  -xinetd handles the connections and passes STDIN / STDOUT file descriptors to the telnet daemon.
  -the telnet daemon then handles all communications and or runs a shell.
 
 
What I'm trying to do is handle SSH connections the same way.  However, I'm finding it rather tricky because after a couple days of works I've gotten the connecting going.  Key exchange, and Authorization within the session and channel_callbacks with SHELL and PTY requests recv and sent.
 
The problem is that once the channel appears to be setup, once data from SSH_channel_read() or SSH_channel_write() I receive the following error message:
 
Bad packet length 1016254014 ( <-- random number).
Disconnecting: Packet corrupt
 
The debug look like this:

If I run the server examples:  I took the basic code for this from samplesshd-cb.c with a couple slight differences.
 
==================================================================
        session = SSH_new();
        sshbind = SSH_bind_new();
 
 
        syslog(LOG_INFO, "SSH_bind_options_set ");
 
        // Bind the Address passed from Xinetd, the Port, and KEYS.
        SSH_bind_options_set(sshbind, SSH_BIND_OPTIONS_BINDADDR, hostaddr_string.c_str());
 
        SSH_bind_options_set(sshbind, SSH_BIND_OPTIONS_BINDPORT, &port);
        SSH_bind_options_set(sshbind, SSH_BIND_OPTIONS_DSAKEY, "SSH_host_dsa_key");
        SSH_bind_options_set(sshbind, SSH_BIND_OPTIONS_RSAKEY, "SSH_host_rsa_key");
        SSH_bind_options_set(sshbind, SSH_BIND_OPTIONS_LOG_VERBOSITY_STR, "1");
 
 
        // Grab the File Descriptor passed from Xinetd
        r = SSH_bind_accept_fd(sshbind, session, STDIN_FILENO);
        if(r == SSH_ERROR)
        {
            syslog(LOG_INFO, "Testing - error SSH_bind_accept_fd.");
            _ent.errlog((char *)"Testing - error SSH_bind_accept_fd");
            return 1;
        }
 
==================================================================
 
 
The code works fine if I set this up as a stand alone server so I figure it has to do with the file descriptor which is strange.  It works for all of the initial communication then dies on reading and writing to the channel.
 
My question is - is this even possible to accomplish, or am I missing something that has to be done in this situation?
