[erlang-bugs] ssh bug: bad window_adjust response

Okay, I've found the real bug now. :)

When Erlang ssh receives a "ssh_msg_channel_window_adjust" message and
there is outstanding data to transmit, the code will generate
"ssh_msg_channel_data" messages with the wrong channel number.  The remote
system observes a protocol error and drops the connection.

The problem is in ssh_connection.erl approximately line 450:

handle_msg(#ssh_msg_channel_window_adjust{recipient_channel = *ChannelId*,
  bytes_to_add = Add},
   #connection{channel_cache = Cache} = Connection,
   ConnectionPid, _) ->

    #channel{send_window_size = Size} =
Channel0 = ssh_channel:cache_lookup(Cache, ChannelId),

    {SendList, Channel} =  %% TODO: Datatype 0 ?
update_send_window(Channel0#channel{send_window_size = Size + Add},
   0, <<>>, Connection),

    Replies = lists:map(fun({Type, Data}) ->
{connection_reply, ConnectionPid,
 channel_data_msg(*ChannelId*, Type, Data)}  % <-- *bzzt, wrong*
end, SendList),
    FlowCtrlMsgs = flow_control(Channel, Cache),
    {{replies, Replies ++ FlowCtrlMsgs}, Connection};


Below is a trace of a channel where I did a ssh_connection:send() of a 13MB
binary.  The first window worth of data is correctly sent to channel 2, but
the second window of data is incorrectly sent to channel 7.  The remote SSH
is OpenSSH.  See bolded sections below
