Description:
------------
Attempting to ls from some servers results in a crash.

This is because the line

int bytesread = libssh2_sftp_readdir(data->handle, ent->d_name, sizeof(ent->d_name) - 1, NULL);

should really be
ssize_t bytesread = libssh2_sftp_readdir(data->handle, ent->d_name, sizeof(ent->d_name) - 1, NULL);

This was already fixed once, but it seems to have been reverted, see:

Actually, libssh2_sftp_readdir() is supposed to return an int[1].

Apparently, the problem must be somewhere else.

That fix still looks good to me, so if you still experience the
reported segfaults, please provide a stack backtrace[1].
