samplesshd: Segmentation fault

[Eugene Starozhilov <estarozhilov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I am trying to use libssh-0.3.4 for my project.  I will need a server component. I tested sample for ssh client and server (smaplesshd and sample).  During the connection samplesshd crashes with core dump:

$gdb ./samplesshd /var/crash/core.6450

It is Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10)

Any help would be appreciated. 

By the way I found a small bug in the server.c code:
variable  session->log_verbosity doesn't get set.
That can be fixed by changing line 232
 session->options = ssh_options_copy(ssh_bind->options);
to
 ssh_set_options(session, ssh_options_copy(ssh_bind->options));

Regards,
