Linux 4.2p1 crash during reverse name lookup

4.0p1 and 4.2p1 are affected for me, I'm using Linux based around a FC2 
build (~2 years old).

I'm trying to login with password authentication from psftp.exe (part of 
PuTTY) but it.

Maybe this bug isn't with OpenSSH itself but a supporting library, I 
would appreciate your assistance in tracking down the problem.

I have tried getting a 'core' file out of SSH with 'ulimit -c
unlimited'
before starting sshd, but I'm unable to find where the core file is.  
The procps listing indicates SSH's working directory is / in the root 
filesystem.

The reason why I state the problem occurs reverse name lookup is a guess 
from the strace output, it looks like it is tring to load libnss_dns.so, 
I'm not sure if this is being looked at from within the normal outer 
root filesystem view or from a chroot ?

Was OpenSSH build on/specifically for the target system?

It doesn't seem to be in OpenSSH, no.

This crash is inside the glibc resolver, upgrade glibc would be my
advice.

I was building my own version into a location outside of the platforms standard
packaging (RPM/YUM) functions and the platforms packages one is disabled.

The problem system FedoraCore2 is using glibc 2.3.3, I have repeated the same
thing on a CentOS4.2 based system using glibc 2.3.4 and

With glibc 2.3.4 not crash but:
