RE: ssh_channel_read , throwing exception when SSH_OPTIONS_LOG_VERBOSITY is set to SSH_LOG_PACKET or SSH_LOG_FUNCTIONS

["V Sidnal, Nagraju" <nagraju.sidnal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jakub,

Please find below log of LibsshClient, which raises exception once it goes inside any kind of channel read, ssh_channel_read(), I m using dll's.
I want to thank you for addressing & responding to my all queries, I'm happy to use & contribute towards libssh , 
This kind of good support for libssh,  Will definitely make it a go to library for ssh communications. Thanks a lot.

Below is the line where this exception is getting raised. Call stack does not give much information. Exception dll lists.
nbytes = ssh_channel_read(channel, sshbuffer, sizeof(sshbuffer), 0);
