Oh yes. This is not good. We must better acknowledge EAGAIN and not continue
working elsewhere after it has been returned.

I think we need to make sure that we remake the sftp_read() function to
instead work like this:

  LOOP {

    send READ packet

    if EAGAIN, break loop

    check for incoming READ RESPONSEs

    if EAGAIN, break loop

  }

The current way of doing things is with two separate loops, first all the
READs and then all check the respones but that isn't good since the READs will
often end with EAGAIN and then we really can't continue to handle the
responses very good.

I'll work on making a patch for this.
