I reported it to the libgcrypt project[1] and they quickly found the bug
in libgcrypt and came up with a fix. Presumably, the fix will be in the next
release (I guess ver. 1.6.6). It's a longstanding bug (that might only affect
32-bit systems) and it's only triggered in libssh2 starting with ver. 1.7.0. If
someone else runs into this, try upgrading libgcrypt.
