This is probably faulty hardware.  We have seen problems with a 300MHz 
UltraSPARC-II's w/2MB cache.  This includes the "hash mismatch" and 
"key_verify failed for server_host_key" errors (although they occurred 
infrequently), and it took way too long  (many hours) to generate DSA 
host keys (this was consistent).

OpenSSL's "make test" also failed.

The faulty processor had these markings:
date code = 0598
processor wk/yr = 44/97
processor rev 52 made in uk @ d2d

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
