on Solaris, "couldn't wait for child '...' completion: No child processes"

[Emanuel Borsboom]

Trying to install the portable OpenSSH on Solaris 2.6.  Compiling from
openssh-2.1.0.tar.gz using gcc.  Compiles and installs fine.  sshd
starts fine.  First connection from another system works.  Child sshd is
forked, but the parent dies and logs:

May 16 11:40:56 qtrade-dev sshd[6510]: error: Couldn't wait for child '/usr/bin/

Looks like the problem is happening in entropy.c.  I'd track it down and
fix it myself, but I don't have the time right now and am new to
Solaris.  Has anyone else run into this?  

Any help very much appreciated.  I'm not on the list so please forward
answers to me personally.  Thanks.
