no one is logged in with ssh when this is occuring (only me at the console.)
if i run sshd in debug mode, it won't fork another process, it hangs with:
debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS.

well, it used to. i changed something and that has now changed to:
debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS
debug1: newkeys: mode 0
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: KEX done
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x8068aa8(0x0)
