Hi all,

I'm not very up to date with SSH. Is this a known bug? If it is, is there
a fix for it?

freebsd%> ssh -V
OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20011202, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
0x0090601f
freebsd%> ssh-keygen -p -f id_dsa
Key has comment ''
Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
ssh-keygen in free(): warning: junk pointer, too high to make sense
Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.
freebsd%> ssh-keygen -p -f id_rsa
Key has comment ''
Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:

Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.
