same problem here with Solaris 8  openssl 0.9.6i from Sunfreeware.com.
I recompiled openssh-3.5p1 (and 3.6p1) with the same result. No more
connecting into sshd (everything else is fine).

My solution was to grab the new openssl 0.9.6j and compile it myself,
then recompile openssh 3.6p1. Now everything is back in working order.
