openssh unix dev - Dec 2005 - arcfour test fails on HP-UX 11.23 Itanium

Building OpenSSH 4.2p1  with the hpn11-none patch, HP-UX 11.23  64-bits 
ia64, using openssl-0.9.7g compiled from source. 
Using gcc 4.0.2  from the HP software depot, compilation is uneventful 
(but fast!) once configuration is set up, but 
make tests fail with Disconnected messages: 

Disconnected: bad packet length ...  (varying)
Write failed: Broken pipe
ssh -2 failed with mac hmac-sja1 cipher arcfour

Then cycles through the rest of the macs with the same message, apart from 
packet length. 
As far as I can see the other ciphers pass the tests, but testing 
naturally stops after the try-ciphers test.

I will of course dig in and try, but has anyone seen this and have a 
solution?

See bz #1055. Try a more recent version of OpenSSL.

In particular, try 0.9.8a or even TOT.  they contain perf enhancements - 
although perhaps not for arcfor. 0.9.8a may not have all of them, hence the 
suggestion to try-out the TOT if you can.
