It difficult to tell without knowing what the package has done, but
would guess that the subsystem was created without the "-D" flag being
passed to sshd and that as a result sshd is constantly respawning, which
is keeping SRC too busy to respond to commands.  (The first copy started
would have been able to bind to port 22, daemonize and serve requests,
which would explain why sshd works OK).

If that's the case, you can fix that with:
chssys -s opensshd -a '-D'

Failing that, you really need to talk to whoever made your packages and
find out how the subsystem was created.

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