openssh unix dev - Mar 2005 - Segmentation fault in buffer_append_space for AIX 5.3 for openssh-4.0p1

For AIX 53 ML01 I'm getting a "Segmentation fault in
buffer_append_space at line 85 in file buffer.c" in sshd after typing my
password for a new connection to the AIX 5.3 host. Line 85 is "if
(buffer->offset == buffer->end) {". Is this caused by an old bug in
buffer_append_space?

Regards

It's not a known problem, and I've not seen it on any other version of
AIX
(but I don't have access to 5.3).

It's also an odd place for a segfault.  What compiler are you using? 
I've
seen weird segfaults from binaries compiled with the gcc-2.9x IBM used to 
ship on the gnu tools cds.
