I get a bus error when I try to execute this simple command:
"ssh-keygen -p -f .ssh/id_dsa"

The purpose of it is to change the passphrase used to encrypt my
private DSA key. This is on MacOS X 10.1.2. On a Solaris system with
the same version of OpenSSH installed, I get a segmentation fault
after I enter my old passphrase. Is this a known bug? Has it been
fixed in newer openssh versions?
