OpenSSH 2.1.0 under Solaris 8 ...

[carl at bl.echidna.id.au]

Marc,

I'm seeing the same problem if I use the inbuilt entropy generator,
but if I use SUNWski's /dev/random, it's fine.

ssh also coredumps if I use the built in entropy generator if I
run it in verbose mode.

This is on a Sun SPARC 10 running Solaris 8
