I had the same problem with Solaris 8, OpenSSL 0.9.6d, and OpenSSH 3.4

It's probably just a bad version test in OpenSSH (but I'm not a software
engineer).

I have a non-production system that I rolled back to OSSL 0.9.6c,
successfully compiled and manually installed OSSH 3.4 on, then updated to
OSSL 0.9.6d. So far it seems to work. You may want to try this, if you can
spare the time, risk, etc.
