What version of OpenSSL and zlib did you compile with?

Could you please run ssh and sshd in debug mode and see where the crash 
occurs?  (eg run "/path/to/sshd -ddd -p 2022" then connect to port 2022 
with "ssh -vvv -p 2022 yourserver").

Also, if sshd generates a core dump, can you feed it to gdb and get a 
backtrace ("gdb /path/to/sshd core" the "bt").

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