Hi TJ, to be honest, I did not understand you completely, as there is no other code left to emit a signal, neither in Haskell, nor the C code – you told an interference can't come from other sources, didn't you?
Meanwhile, I extended libssh2 by a new function with roughly the functionality of examples/ssh2.c libssh2_test(): LIBSSH2_API void libssh2_test(void){ struct sockaddr_in sin; LIBSSH2_SESSION *session; const char *fingerprint; LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel; const unsigned long hostaddr= htonl(0x7F000001); const char *username= "i"; const char *keyfile1="/home/i/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"; const char *keyfile2="/home/i/.ssh/id_rsa"; const char *password= "D0r1nha23"; int got= 0; int sock= socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); sin.sin_family= AF_INET; sin.sin_port= htons(22); sin.sin_addr.s_addr= hostaddr; if(connect( sock, (struct sockaddr*)(&sin), sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) ) != 0 ) { fprintf(stderr, "failed to connect!\n"); return; } session= libssh2_session_init(); libssh2_trace(session,~0); if(libssh2_session_handshake(session, sock)) { _libssh2_debug(session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_TRANS , "Failure establishing SSH session" ); return; } fingerprint= libssh2_hostkey_hash(session, LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA1); libssh2_userauth_list(session, username, strlen(username)); // ?? if(libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile( session , username , keyfile1 , keyfile2 , password )) { _libssh2_debug(session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_TRANS , "\tAuthentication by public key failed!" ); return; } else { _libssh2_debug( session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_TRANS , "\tAuthentication by public key succeeded." ); if(!(channel= libssh2_channel_open_session(session))) { _libssh2_debug( session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_TRANS , "Unable to open a session" ); return; } else { libssh2_channel_setenv(channel, "FOO", "bar"); if(libssh2_channel_request_pty(channel, "vanilla")) { _libssh2_debug( session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_TRANS , "Failed requesting pty" ); } else { if(libssh2_channel_shell(channel)) { _libssh2_debug( session, LIBSSH2_TRACE_TRANS , "Unable to request shell on allocated pty" ); } else { if(channel){ libssh2_channel_free(channel); channel= NULL; } } } } } libssh2_session_disconnect( session , "Normal Shutdown, Thank you for playing" ); libssh2_session_free(session); close(sock); libssh2_exit(); return; } A call to libssh2_test() runs flawless from C, while from Haskell, using two different approaches, without any other Haskell statements, leads to EINTR. I sent a question to a Haskell mailing list in how far, such a signal might have its origin in the Haskell foreign function interface. Thanks for your support, and a nice weekend, Nick
