    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 = DSA_do_verify(digest, dlen, sig, key->dsa);' I believe, line 172.
