Segmentation Fault while compiling and installing openssh-3.9p1

[vinay.purohit at nomura.com]

I am trying to compile and install openssh-3.9p1 (with openssl-0.9.7j)
on my personal dev env to have a play. I get the below mentioned
segmentation fault message. 

---------
Generating public/private rsa1 key pair.
/bin/sh: line 1: 10901 Segmentation fault      ./ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f
/home/vinay/var/vinay_ssh/etc/ssh_host_key -N ""
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
/bin/sh: line 1: 10902 Segmentation fault      ./ssh-keygen -t dsa -f
/home/vinay/var/vinay_ssh/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
/bin/sh: line 1: 10903 Segmentation fault      ./ssh-keygen -t rsa -f
/home/vinay/var/vinay_ssh/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""
make: *** [host-key] Error 139

My configure and install script looks something like this 

./configure --with-libs=-ldl  --includedir=$HOME/var/vinay_ssh/include
--prefix=$HOME/var/vinay_ssh --exec_prefix=$HOME/var/vinay_ssh
--with-ssl-dir=$HOME/var/openssl
make clean
make install

Config steps shows this

?
