The _session_channel method is used by several methods of SSH2.pm
module: cmd, shell, open2 in order to open client session channel. I
can not say that will happen if we do not duplicate STDIN for these
cases.
It is really difficult to understand this module without any
development documents and almost without comments.
Maybe you can perform some tests without duplicated STDIN. I can say
only that receiving of files through SFTP works fine in this case.
