OpenSSH 2.3.0p4/2.2.0p1, Solaris 8, ssh-keygen bus error

[Edward S. Marshall]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with ssh-keygen on Solaris 8; upon running, it
produces a bus error due to a function call in OpenSSL (RC4_set_key):

[...]
(gdb) where
#0  0x3440c in RC4_set_key ()
#1  0x2b890 in arc4random_stir ()
    at /merc/tools/src/openssh-2.3.0p1/bsd-arc4random.c:65
#2  0x23ca8 in main (ac=1, av=0xffbefb94)
    at /merc/tools/src/openssh-2.3.0p1/ssh-keygen.c:720

I get identical results with any combination of:

- gcc 2.95.2/binutils 2.10.1, or just gcc with Sun's as/ld (I do not have
  a WorkShop C licence), either built from source or obtained from Sun's
  "companion" CD (gcc only; they don't ship binutils).

- OpenSSL 0.9.5a and 0.9.6, built from source.

- OpenSSH 2.3.0p4 and 2.2.0p1, built from source.

I'm using the ANDIrand (http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/) package to
provide /dev/random, rather than EGD or SUNWski. ssh and sshd appear to be
working as advertised, but key generation fails consistantly.

I'm planning on trying the 10/00 Solaris 8 release as soon as I get a
chance to download it from Sun.

Suggestions? This looks like an openssl problem, but I'd think I wouldn't
be the only one seeing this (the archives didn't indicate anyone else
having this kind of problem)...
