Hi Mark,

(Cc: Artyom.  Artyom, this is about what looks like a bug in Guile-SSH
when used with Guile 2.2; see <https://bugs.gnu.org/26976>.)

This looks like a double-free and ‘ssh_channel_close’ has only one call
site, which is ‘ptob_close’, the ‘close’ function for the channel port
type in Guile-SSH.

I’m quite confident that the attached patch fixes the problem.  However,
I haven’t found a scenario in Guile 2.2 where the ‘close’ method could
be called more than once, and I cannot reproduce the bug on my machine.
Thoughts?

I suggest applying it to the ‘guile-ssh’ package in Guix.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
