Comment(by bagder):

 I can confirm this. It seems to be a bug in gcrypt (I use 1.4.5-2 on
 debian) since I get this easily with ./example/scp against localhost
 (control-c after the fingerprint) but doing the exact same operation with
 libssh2 built to use OpenSSL show no leak at all.

 Another reason could be there's something missing in the gcrypt glue
 layer.
