This one looks odd.  The ssh session itself looks OK: it authenticates
then sends a
printf shell command (basically, just a way of guaranteeing a minimum amount
of output being sent back:

> debug1: Sending command: printf "%4096s" " "

The session then closes OK but ssh exists with a -1 error code, which
gets propagated
back up the stack as a failure.

Exit statuses in POSIX should be 0-255.  We can see in the sshd.log
that the server
sent an exit status (session_exit_message), so either your printf
command/builtin
returns a bogus exit code, or ssh is mishandling it.

What's the return code of printf?  ie:

printf "%4096s" " "; echo $?

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
