> Log message:
> Use new channel status confirmation callback system to properly deal
> with "important" channel requests that fail, in particular command exec,
> shell and subsystem requests. Previously we would optimistically assume
> that the requests would always succeed, which could cause hangs if they
> did not (e.g. when the server runs out of fds) or were unimplemented by
> the server (bz #1384)
> 
> Also, properly report failing multiplex channel requests via the mux
> client stderr (subject to LogLevel in the mux master) - better than
> silently failing.

> most bits ok markus@ (as part of a larger diff)
