When I try to change my key passphrase I get a Bad passphrase error.

If I generate a new key with empty passphrase I receive no error, but if I
generate a new key with a passphrase I get the Bad passphrase error.

[sandino at ingrata sandino] ssh-keygen -f .ssh/id_dsa.test -p
Key has comment '.ssh/id_dsa.test'
Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase): eaeaea
Enter same passphrase again: eaeaea
Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.
[sandino at ingrata sandino] ssh-keygen -f .ssh/id_dsa.test -p
Enter old passphrase: eaeaea
Bad passphrase.
