I'm not sure if it's related to your problem, but I've seen that once before on Solaris 9, where it was apparently caused by patch 118305-04. See Sun DocID 101834
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-101834-1

If that's it, you can either back out the patch or work around it by running sshd with IPv4 support only ("-4" on the sshd command line and/or "AddressFamily inet" in sshd_config, depending on the version).

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
