I see that. I also see that the software in question is IBM's OpenSSH
package.

I've also added this to the bug, but for anyone else in this situation:
you need to report problems with 3rd-party packages to that party unless
you can also reproduce them with the vanilla OpenSSH compiled from the
source.

In many cases the packages contain modifications and since OpenSSH is BSD
licensed, 3rd parties are allowed to (and, indeed are welcome to) produce
derivative works without providing source (although many choose to).
In this case, IBM provides source for an earlier version of their mods
but not the one you're using.

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