openssh unix dev - Mar 2001 - FW: rsa_public_encrypt() exponent too small or not odd

I have the following bug report to submit.

OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 and 2.5.1p2

HP-UX 11.00 Dart 51 64bit (32bit compile)
OpenSSL 0.9.6
Zlib 1.1.3

Cflags:
-Ae

I keep getting "rsa_public_encrypt() exponent too small or not odd"
with the
SSH 1 or 1.5 protocols. I can't get OpenSSH to communicate with itself with
any protocal other than SSH 2.

I have searched everywhere. Google, OpenBSD, Dejanews, etc... I found a very
old problem that was similar in the OpenSSH mail archives but the rsa.c code
file is newer then the fix described.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
