[ale] sshd crashing, RH AS 3

[gchendry at bellsouth.net]

I apologize if this is an old resolved issue, just started taking the time to read this group.

Just installed RH AS 3, Update 2 on a new SuperMicro Server
It appears to me that sshd is crashing, see the below debug info, note the write failed.
I've check all the usual stuff, multiple apps trying to listen on port 22.
You may not notice this from the debug info, but if I take the interface down and then backup (ifdown eth0; ifup eth0)
then a client can scp into this problem server the first time, but once logged out is when the crash occurs.

Yes, I know about the RH Support, no comment at this time

Any ideas????
