libraries: curl-7.18.1, libssh2-0.18,
arch: i686
Linux: 2.4.27
gcc: gcc-3.3.6 (note: code is C++)

If I start the test with no network connection, [and not using DNS names], it
hangs every time. Here's a backtrace of the hung thread:

When I break the network connection randomly during the uplink of N files, it
hangs about 1/3 the time. Every backtrace looks the same:
