libssh 0.8.1 breaks amarok

[Antonio Rojas <arojas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
 I need help debugging a strange issue I'm facing when packaging 0.8.1 on Arch Linux. Updating to 0.8.1 breaks KDE's Amarok music player: on startup it throws an error

"The Amarok database reported the following errors:
MySQLe something failed! on library initialization failed, return code 1"

The funny thing is that neither amarok nor mariadb (the mysql implementation we use) use libssh at all. The only relationship is that amarok is indirectly linked to it via ffmpeg. And indeed, rebuilding ffmpeg without libssh support fixes the issue. I've bisected it to this commit:

    threads: Automatically call ssh_init on load

It only happens when using openssl, if I build libssh with libgcrypt there is no issue. Any ideas what may be going on here?

Thanks
