The filename is set prior to being passed to key_load_private(), or You
would not get the following error message:

Permissions 0140 for '(null)' are too open.
It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
bad permissions: ignore key: /path/to/ssh/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key

Is it possible that You tried to compile ssh, applied the patch and then 
tried to recompile ssh without doing a make distclean?
