This looks good, and indeed it’s an unintended consequence of commit
cc1dfc202f2fefb6c2eb9467d1fc90a9154550c9.

However, the log of commit cc1dfc had this:

   Failing to do that, "%p" would be "0" when using "ProxyCommand"
   in ~/.ssh/config.

This is arguably a defect in either Guile-SSH or (more likely) libssh,
and it would be nice to report it.

Would you like to report it upstream?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
