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.
