I found several signed <-> unsigned conversion (usually int to size_t)
in the security.c code which motivated its rewrite (I fixed some and I
tried to flag the remaining conversions). For some reason, the
compiler will not output any warnings for these.
Such a conversion would not explain why only _some_ servers would show
that - that is unless not all the code branches are doing it.

Also does libcurl+openSSH work in this case?
