I'm not quite sure where you got the impression that people would give up 
their free time to debug a five-year old version of OpenSSH and a 
three-year old version of OpenSSL. I certainly wouldn't.

If you're reporting a bug in OpenSSH, you could at least do everyone the 
courtesy of trying with the latest version, to ensure that it's not a bug 
that's already been fixed in the last five years, and thus a complete 
waste of time to investigate and fix again.

Also you did not provide nearly enough information about your platform, 
nor a debugger backtrace of the segmentation fault.

Cheers, Chris.
