question for openssh gurus...

system: freebsd 4.7-stable

I am running openssh 3.5 with openssl l-0.9.6g_1, and every time I ssh into my box i get a nice little scrolling fun bag of this message.. multiplied about 50 times what I have pasted below. any ideas what may be causing this error? I also notice that there is now a delay after the password is entered for a span of 45 seconds to about 60 seconds. This happens every single time I login, so I know its not just lag.. any ideas? Thanks.
