There is a known problem when OpenSSH has been built against an
incorrect version of OpenSSL; the quick workaround is to configure
PuTTY to use SSH protocol 2 and the Blowfish cipher.
This is not a PuTTY-specific problem; if you try to connect with
another client you'll likely have similar problems.
For more details and OpenSSH patches, see
\W{http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138}{bug 138} in the
OpenSSH BTS.

\e{Update:} As of OpenSSH 3.4p1 the problem with SSH 1 and Blowfish
remains. Apply the patch linked to from bug 138, or use another cipher
(e.g., 3DES) instead.
\e{OpenSSH 3.4p1:} as of 3.4p1, only the problem with SSH 1 and
Blowfish remains. Rebuild your server, apply the patch linked to from
bug 138 above, or use another cipher (e.g., 3DES) instead.
