There might be a bug in userauth.c, in sign_fromfile. privkeyobj->dtor is 
called to clean up, but the first time it is called (if privkeyobj->signv 
returns non-zero), it passes abstract in. The other time it passes in 
hostkey_abstract, which seems sensible. abstract is passed in and points to a 
pointer to a privkey_file structure which is declared on the stack in 
userauth_publickey_fromfile, so freeing it looks wrong.

I'm actually trying to find out how to authenticate using a private key, but 
one that I already have in memory. I realise I can simply write it out to a 
temporary file and use that temporary file in a call to 
userauth_publickey_fromfile, but I'd like to avoid having the private key on 
disk at all if possible.

I've looked at http://libssh2.org/libssh2_userauth_publickey.html, but the 
information on what's needed for the callback function isn't complete. Are 
there any other examples anywhere, or can someone point me in the right 
direction?
