stable(?) and unstable ssh package(s?) broken

[Heitzso <xxh1@cdc.gov>]

setup:
 unstable debian on athlon 

run:
 apt-get install ssh

yields 4 segementation faults during
ssh-keygen runs, so server doesn't
come up.  I also tried pointing to
stable sources and getting current
stable ssh w apt-get install ssh
and got the same segmentation crash
errors

so I cannot actually say that the problem
is in ssh -- it may be in an unstable
library used by ssh, or, actually, used 
by ssh-keygen.

I've done repeated:
 apt-get update
 apt-get upgrade
and
 apt-get remove ssh
 apt-get install ssh
sequences trying to get past this.
I've also tried removing and reinstalling
openssl package in case it was responsible
for the problem.

(HELP!)
Thanks,
