>Description:
	Some ssh clients can't connect due this error:
Sep 20 13:07:52 cakebox sshd[33872]: fatal: cipher_init: EVP_CipherInit: set key failed for aes128-cbc [preauth]

	This might be related:
	https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=8310143
	but that's about ctr and not cbc

>How-To-Repeat:
	build and run current on a machine with glxsb, connect with this ssh:
OpenSSH_5.0 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20080403, OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev 09 May 2008
	FreeBSDs ssh and Linux (OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012)
	have no issues.

>Fix:

	unknown (I could probably disable glxsb0 but that would be a lame escape)
