        #
        # The deadlock occurs as follows:
        #
        # In the main thread:
        #   1. The user's program calls Channel.send(), which sends
        #      MSG_CHANNEL_DATA to the remote host.
        #   2. Packetizer discovers that REKEY_BYTES has been exceeded, and
        #      sets the __need_rekey flag.
        #
        # In the Transport thread:
        #   3. Packetizer notices that the __need_rekey flag is set, and raises
        #      NeedRekeyException.
        #   4. In response to NeedRekeyException, the transport thread sends
        #      MSG_KEXINIT to the remote host.
        #
        # On the remote host (using any SSH implementation):
        #   5. The MSG_CHANNEL_DATA is received, and MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST is sent.
        #   6. The MSG_KEXINIT is received, and a corresponding MSG_KEXINIT is sent.
        #
        # In the main thread:
        #   7. The user's program calls Channel.send().
        #   8. Channel.send acquires Channel.lock, then calls Transport._send_user_message().
        #   9. Transport._send_user_message waits for Transport.clear_to_send
        #      to be set (i.e., it waits for re-keying to complete).
        #      Channel.lock is still held.
        #
        # In the Transport thread:
        #   10. MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST is received; Channel._window_adjust
        #       is called to handle it.
        #   11. Channel._window_adjust tries to acquire Channel.lock, but it
        #       blocks because the lock is already held by the main thread.
        #
        # The result is that the Transport thread never processes the remote
        # host's MSG_KEXINIT packet, because it becomes deadlocked while
        # handling the preceding MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST message.
