Comment (by dd32):

 > #37942 was marked as a duplicate.

 As I've marked another ticket as a duplicate of this, I'd just like to
 express my personal thoughts here.

 I personally don't really want to touch the internals of this transport,
 due to it's limited use, and how rare it is that it's supported.
 Testing this change on older versions of the extension, interactions with
 ssh servers, and my experience of changing internals of transports has
 told me that if you fix it for one configuration, it'll break ten others.
 If the PHP Extension-supplied bindings are faulty, the extension should be
 fixed instead ([https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71376 which it is,
 hopefully]).
