[libssh2] Failing to create multiple channels in windows

I am using windows XP and visual studio 2003.
Here I am having a problem in windows only.

If I am creating to 'tunneled' channels by using
'libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip'.
The second channel creation fails 'channel2'.

But the first one is successful.

But in Linux the same program is able to create two channels!

My guess, it is a problem since libssh2 is using select(HAVE_SELECT) in
windows.

I am pasting the source code below:-

/*

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#endif //_WIN32

#include "libssh2.h"

/*

static void bail(const char *on_what)
{
    if ( errno != 0 ) {
        fputs(strerror(errno),stderr);
        fputs(": ",stderr);
    }
    fputs(on_what,stderr);
    fputc('\n',stderr);
    exit(1);
}

int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
    char *srvr_addr = NULL;
    char *srvr_port = "9099";
    SOCKET sock;
    struct sockaddr_in sin;
    LIBSSH2_SESSION *session;
    LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel1, *channel2;

#ifdef WIN32
    WSADATA wsadata;
    WSAStartup(WINSOCK_VERSION, &wsadata);
#endif

    sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
    sin.sin_port = htons(22);
    sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.1.3");

    printf("TCPIP connection\n");
    if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr*)(&sin), sizeof(struct sockaddr_in))
!= 0)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "failed to connect!\n");
        return -1;
    }

    printf("SSH2 session\n");
    session = libssh2_session_init();

    if (libssh2_session_startup(session, sock))
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failure establishing SSH session\n");
        return -1;
    }

    printf("SSH2 authentication\n");
    /* We could authenticate via password */
    if (libssh2_userauth_password(session, "root", "yourpassword"))
    {
        printf("Authentication by password failed.\n");
    }

    channel1 = libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip(session, "192.168.1.3", 3306);
    if (channel1 == 0)
        bail("Failed channel forwarding: channel1\n");
    else
        printf("channel connected (%x)\n",channel1);

    /*
    HERE THE ERROR OCCURS: In Windows it fails.
    In linux we can create the channel successfully
    */

    channel2 = libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip(session, "192.168.1.3", 3306);

    if (channel2 == 0)
        bail("Failed channel forwarding: channel2\n");
    else
        printf("channel connected (%x)\n",channel2);

    libssh2_channel_close(channel1);
    libssh2_channel_free(channel1);

    libssh2_channel_close(channel1);
    libssh2_channel_free(channel1);

    /* Control never gets here */
    return 0;
}
