This one I'm a bit less positive on - it seems you would be doing the
right thing if the input num_prompts == 0; however, when I read the man
page (libssh2_userauth_keyboard_interactive_ex(3)) of what calls this I see:
response_callback - As authentication proceeds, the host issues several
(1 or more) challenges and requires responses. This callback will be
called at this moment. The callback is responsible to obtain responses
for the challenges, fill the provided data structure and then return
control. Responses will be sent to the host. String values will be
free(3)ed by the library. The callback prototype must match this:
void response(const char *name, int name_len, const char
*instruction, int instruction_len, int num_prompts, const
LIBSSH2_USERAUTH_KBDINT_PROMPT *prompts,
LIBSSH2_USERAUTH_KBDINT_RESPONSE *responses, void **abstract);
This says to me the response_callback shouldn't be called unless there's
1 or more challenges. So are we fixing the root cause of the problem or
a side effect of someone else's bug?

someone with more libssh2 knowledge can pipe in.
