libssh2 hangs in curl testsuite

I upgraded to the git libssh2 with GnuTLS 3.2.21 on x86 Linux a few days ago
for my curl autobuilds, and they've been hanging ever since on many libssh2
tests (e.g. 609, 620, 626, 635, but I suspect it's a race condition on connect
and the actual test number doesn't make a difference). I haven't spent much
time looking into it yet, but a high proportion of the tests end up with the
CPU spinning at 100%. I've attached gdb in a couple of cases and the backtrace
either looks like this:

#0 0xb7682ee8 in Loop () from /lib/libgcrypt.so.11
#1 0x07c09aa4 in ?? ()
#2 0xb76b8000 in ?? () from /lib/libgcrypt.so.11
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

or like this:

#0 0xb761661f in mul_n () from /lib/libgcrypt.so.11
#1 0xb7616762 in mul_n () from /lib/libgcrypt.so.11

The couple of times I caught this, everything from level #7 to the bottom was the same.
I'll try to get a chance to bisect the problem, but in any case, it's not quite
in a releasable state.
