Comment 5 for bug 137519

Attaching ready to use .deb of amd64 version. On amd64 system, dpkg -i attached file to use 1.9 version.
I'm still testing it, but it seems to be working o.k.

Why not just upload this fixed version into official repositories?

Build instructions (based on i.e. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003 )

Just get ubuntu sources of sshfs, unpack upstream 1.9 sources over it, and build that using dpkg-buildpackage

Details:

1) get upstream version from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684&package_id=140425
2) unpack it to have sshfs-fuse-1.9 and rename that dir to sshfs-fuse-1.9-up to avoid confusion (up - upstream)
3) apt-get source sshfs - to get Ubuntu's version - there will be directory sshfs-fuse-1.7 rename it to sshfs-fuse-1.9
4) copy all files from upstream sshfs-fuse-1.9-up over the files in sshfs-fuse-1.9
5) now in sshfs-fuse-1.9 you have both ubuntu/debian controll files, and the FIXED sources 1.9
6) install needed tools:
aptitude install build-essential dh-make debhelper devscripts
aptitude install libfuse-dev
7) now enter the sshfs-fuse-1.9 dir and issue command:
   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Then in top dir a file sshfs_1.9-0.1_amd64.deb is created, install it using
  dpkg -i sshfs_1.9-0.1_amd64.deb
