openssh unix dev - Feb 2016 - Cygwin/OpenSSH with OpenSC: Segmentation fault

Hello OpenSSH developers

When using OpenSSH with OpenSC in cygwin I unfortunately I get a segmentation
fault with:
ssh -I /usr/local/lib/opensc-pkcs11.dll host
The specific error within the dump is: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

One version of OpenSC has been compiled for Cygwin and one for win32, openssh
shows the same behavior with both. This issue is also being discussed here:
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/issues/607
I'm seeing this currently with openssh_7.1p2 and opensc 0.15.0, but it does
work with Firefox and openvpn.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Regards

Hello,
Most probably you need to build opensc for cygwin for this to work.
