A couple of possibilities:
1) the key generation code in openssl was miscompiled.  Does openssl
s "make tests" pass?  which compiler did you use.
2) from memory, AIX 5.2 has a /dev/random device.  It's possible that
it's blocking due to lack of entropy.  I'd suggest stracing (or
equivalent) ssh-keygen and seeing what it's doing.

Another thing to try is to get openssl to generate a DSA key and see if
it works ("openssl dsaparam -genkey 1024 -out /dev/null" and "openssl
dsaparam -genkey 1024 -rand /dev/urandom -out /dev/null".

I have a machine I can test on but it's not currently set up.
