Hello Monks, I'm having the following issue with Net::SSH2 on a Fedora 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 box. Note that same code works well on Ubuntu, FreeBSD and CentOS.

I'm able to open a connection and a channel to a device, but when I try to read from a channel, code gets blocked in the following line:

while ( my $line = <$handle> ) {

Where $handle is a Net::SSH2::Channel object. I can read the contents of the channel only if I do the following instead:

my $line;
$handle->read( $line, 657 );

657 is the exact number of bytes available on the channel at that time, if I try to read more, or read in a loop, I get stuck again. Only reading the exact 657 bytes works.

libssh2 is version 1.2.7 and Net::SSH2 version is 0.33. Same version I have working on Ubuntu and FreeBSD.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Paulo
