With multichannel, operations like the queries from "ls -lR" can cause all credits to be used and errors to be returned since max_credits was not being set correctly on the secondary channels and thus the client was requesting 0 credits incorrectly in some cases (which can lead to not having enough credits to perform any operation on that channel).
