- Bug report #1830637 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1830637), which was

  forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally

  submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory

  references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was

  setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I

  make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct

  member.

- Bug report #1823487 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1823487) pointed

  out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP

  ones.  I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should

  use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch for indent changes as

  use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch of indent changes as

  well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.
