+- Brian Ulm reported a crash when doing a second SFTP transfer on a re-used
+  easy handle if curl_easy_reset() was used between them. I fixed it and Brian
+  verified that it cured his problem.

+- Brian Ulm reported that if you first tried to download a non-existing SFTP
+  file and then fetched an existing one and re-used the handle, libcurl would

+  verified that it cured his problem.
