The IV-memcopy() problem was identified in the interfacing between
OpenSSH and OpenSSL based on the traceback sent by Daniel Schroeter.
(Unfortunately Daniel did not yet report back whether his problem is
solved now.)
Obviously, you ran into another problem, for which another traceback
would be required...

If it would be a bug inside FreeBSD's routines, debugging would be a waste
of time. One can however not be sure. Maybe there is a bug in OpenSSH
(or OpenSSL, that's why I am following the thread closely) that just becomes
visible under certain conditions.
