OpenSSH ssh-keygen seg faults

[Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net>]

hi,

has anyone else had ssh-keygen from OpenSSH  1.2pre13-1 seg fault?

I think it will only do this if it is run as root (so it will not 
bother many people probably),

i needed to create a key as root and when i did ssh-keygen 
segfaulted, when i tried again it worked...  so i try over and over 
and over again and about 3 out of 5 times it will seg fault, it 
appears to do so before it saves the identity.pub but after the 
identity file is saved.

I ran it over and over again many times as a ordinary user and could 
not reproduce this...

here is a gdb backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4017cda6 in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
