Ive been having the exact same issue, even started a thread on it with
no resolution yet.

Some findings I have made recently included taking a working ssh from a
bsd4.9 release box, copying it to the one that wasnt working, including
the config. That ssh also had the problem after copying. This seems to
indicate either the config has issues(but I copied that as well) or a
runtime library conflict...

The code where it dies can be found in the source ssh-dss.c, at '
ret =3D DSA_do_verify(digest, dlen, sig, key->dsa);' I believe, line 172.
