Title:
  libcurl hangs when sftp destination run out of space

Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  my libcurl is compiled with scp/sftp support. when sftp destination is roun out of space, libcurl hangs, and try send more data forever. The error is in lib/ssh.c at Curl_scp_send and Curl_sftp_send function:
  The libssh2_sftp_write returns number of bytes written or negative on failure. (http://www.libssh2.org/libssh2_sftp_write.html), the libssh2_channel_write function do the same.

  But this curl_scp_send and Curl_sftp_send sould return the number of written bytes or -1.
  (the check is in Curl_write function). So if the libssh2 functions returns negative error number, curl hope everytings is ok -> try forever.

  The little fix is attached for curl 7.19 (lucid)
