[erlang-patches] SSH does not send SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS

[Ingela Anderton Andin]

Hi Andrey,

thank you for your patch suggstion. I am just in the middel of 
remodeling the ssh-code to fit it into a OTP-supervison tree so the code
has changed quite a lot, but I will take this aspect into the equation.

Regards Ingela, Erlang/OTP -Ericsson
