curl_easy_perform should return error 67, CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED; libcurl should
never cause a core dump (unless the app deliberately passes in bad pointers).
But test case 628 already tests a failed login due to a bad password, so
you probably have a slightly different environment.

This looks like it might be a problem. I can't get it to fail when I
supply a nonexistent public key, but you should be able to run the program
under a debugger to find out exactly where and why this occurs.
