A quick attach shows that it is in a signal handling loop:

#5  0x80c9490 in fstat ()
#6  0x80ca76f in malloc ()
#7  0x80c8937 in __smakebuf ()
#8  0x80c88c7 in __swsetup ()
#9  0x80c3b53 in vfprintf ()
#10 0x80c3631 in fprintf ()
#11 0x1b1f6 in signal_handler (sig=6) at signals.c:49
#12 0xefbfdfdc in end ()
#13 0x80c9441 in fstat ()
#14 0x80c9490 in fstat ()
#15 0x80ca76f in malloc ()
#16 0x80c8937 in __smakebuf ()
#17 0x80c88c7 in __swsetup ()
#18 0x80c3b53 in vfprintf ()
#19 0x80c3631 in fprintf ()
#20 0x1b1f6 in signal_handler (sig=6) at signals.c:49
#21 0xefbfdfdc in end ()

.. and so on.

Uh, I just noticed that removing /etc/malloc.conf "fixes" the
problem (which answers the question as to why it works elsewhere.
:-)).. Ok, looks like an sshd bug, not -current.

We now return you to your usual program or droll Christmas
classics...
