Hi,

We have successfully ported OpenSSH along with SFTP-Server for a Greenhills
platform, where it was only having single address space and threads.

But I could say it was really a painful work to resolve the global
variables and data structures to each threads.

We have used a total of 3 threads including the SFTP Server.

Thanks,
Shinose.
