This happens when a test RSA operation fails - but OpenSSH doesn't try to
check why it fails and assumes it was because no RSA code even
exists. It's probably more likely it's failing an internal check related
to /dev/random (this is the signature which caused me to notice the
missing /dev/random on alpha recently)
