openssh - Floating point exception

[~L~]

I've got a bit annoying problem with openssh, basically it doesn't work.
I'm using 3.8_p1 and when I try to connect to a server (ssh 1.5), it gives

Yeah, there is apparently a bug (known) for 64bit x86 CPU's in OpenSSL that produces this.

A patch is available - see http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=821

Thanks for the help.

But being very new linux user, I have to ask if I did this correctly...

Now I did
emerge unmerge openssh
emerge unmerge openssl

downloaded the latest sources from openssl
fixed bug in openssl-0.9.7c/crypto/bn/asm/x86_64-gcc.c
-> tar -> gzip
cp openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
cp /usr/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.7c-r1.ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.7c-r1.ebuild
edited the mirror to point to my tar.gz
ebuild openssl-0.9.7c-r1.ebuild digest
emerge /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.7c-r1.ebuild
--> error can't find patch
copied *-gentoo.diff patch from portage to similar local directory
- digest again
- emerge
- emerge openssh

If I installed manually with ./configure etc. openssh wouldn't work = or emerge doesn't like it. This way everything seemed to be ok and I don't have to use -nodeps for emerge, except that I get the same error, when I try to connect with ssh. Does this in principle look the way it should have worked?

Well then...Is somebody using ssh/ssl and if, what versions? I would like to test that, since this seems atm to be only my problem.

EDIT: It is working now with the new version. I guess my way of applying that patch was not the standard way
