OPenSSH version 3.4 --sshd hangs for some time at startup

[unix_chin]

I am trying to run sftp-server from openssh on solaris 2.8. When i start the sshd, and try to see if it has bind to port 22 (using netstat -a), i see that it binds only after approx 9 minutes. During that time a SFTP client cant connect. When i do a 'truss' on this that it is hung on a 'read' system call and is sleeping on that . Is this a bug or is there something in the configuration I am missing !!
