        #      NeedRekeyException.

        #   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.
