Encrypt "identity" with aes256, not with des3: is ssh able to decrypt it?

Hi all!
Following situation:
as i generated my ssh-keys i noticed, that the encryption used to
store the private key set to des3.
So i saved the key using aes256, what succeeded without problems.
---
> cd .ssh
#Converted my dsa-key to plain
> openssl -in id_dsa -out key.plain
# encrypted the plain with aes256
> openssl enc -e -aes256 -in key.plain -out identity
# copy id_dsa.pub to identity.pub
cp id_dsa.pub identity.pub
---
The problem encountered as i tried to connect to a remote server, where
i placed my public key - the ssh seems to be unable to decrypt the key!
This is the output i got:
--------------
root@xen:~# ssh root@thor
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/identity':
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/identity':
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/identity':
[CTRL-C]
root@xen:~#
-----------
The password i used for testing was simple, so i have not
mistyped it, 100%-ly.
Who have an idea?
Thanks!
Vladimirs.
