Absolutely, however from previous messages in this thread, the select poll libssh2 is using immediately returns 'ready' when the socket is in that state without anything actually being ready to read, which results in a hot loop.
 
Not sure what could be done to correctly determine the socket is actually in a re-transmission state pending close. But yes, non-blocking mode would only be a work around.

Busy-looping like that is a bug, so if libssh2 does it it is a bug we should
track down and fix. You could probably use non-blocking mode as a work-around,
as then you can handle the looping in your own code.
