I've now looked at the bug report. I was able to reproduce some of the issues with example-sftp by varying size of the buffer passed to libssh2_sftp_read().
I have found three separate bugs, and I've submitted a pull request with fixes here: https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/pull/75 Since two of the bugs were introduced by that commit that supposedly improves performance, we might alternatively just revert that commit, and make two of my fixes unnecessary.
