Description Matthew Booth 2012-03-16 16:30:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
This bug is fixed upstream. See mailing list discussion here:

http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2012-03/0068.shtml

It's fixed in upstream commit fed075972080ed705bd79b731c40cf5e73085aeb.

virt-p2v hits this if bug 804145 isn't fixed. Assuming bug 804145 will be fixed, this one probably isn't critical. However, it did severely hamper debugging until I found it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libssh2-1.2.2-7.el6_1.1.x86_64
Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2012-03-19 14:27:09 UTC 
Thank you for reporting the bug and getting it fixed upstream, Matthew.  I have built a Fedora package (libssh2-1.4.0-4.fc18) with this fix included for now.
