Every time?

How about when you do a long compile? (build a kernel or
make world)

If it is not every time, and the same thing happens sometimes
during a long build, I suspect hardware problems. (probably
memory)

If it is only ssh-keygen, and it is every single time... hmm.

Maybe a corrupted ssh-keygen binary, or libcrypto or libc?
If this is a fresh install from a CD, you might try re-installing
(upgrading) the bin and crypto distributions.
