sshd (openssh 3.7.1p1) dies during login on Solaris 8 system with SRM installed

[Wiliams, Brian]

I have compiled ssh 3.7.1p1 using gcc and am trying to get it to run on our
Solaris 8 systems running Sun's SRM system.
With existing users it is fine, but with a new user, the user can not ssh in
on the first login, they get the message from SRM that no lnode has been
created.

I put sshd in debug and found that it SEG's here:

debug3: mm_sshpam_free_ctx: waiting for MONITOR_ANS_PAM_FREE_CTX
debug3: monitor_read: checking request 52

Bus Error


I trussed the process and see :

does any one know why sshd is getting the bus error?

anyone seen something similar? 

could this be similar to the sparcv9 issue?

Thanks
