-commit 1aba38cd7d2658146675ce1737e5090f879f3068
-Author: Peter Stuge <peter@stuge.se>
-Date:   Sun Dec 6 07:20:58 2009 +0100

-    Fix padding in ssh-dss signature blob encoding
-    
-    DSA signatures consist of two 160-bit integers called r and s. In ssh-dss
-    signature blobs r and s are stored directly after each other in binary
-    representation, making up a 320-bit (40 byte) string. (See RFC4253 p14.)
-    
-    The crypto wrappers in libssh2 would either pack r and s incorrectly, or
-    fail, when at least one integer was small enough to be stored in 19 bytes
-    or less.
-    
-    The patch ensures that r and s are always stored as two 160 bit numbers.
