In this case, userland is a straight dump off my netbook - where it
all works.  The differences are in the configuration and that it's
running against a kernel that is slightly newer and a different
architecture.  Changing userland would render the whole jail useless.

One further datapoint (based on an off-list suggestion): It's i386-
rather than jail- related.  Running the same sshd outside the jail
breaks in exactly the same way so it is something related to running
an i386 sshd on an amd64 kernel - unfortunately, I haven't yet located
the incompatibility.

Actually debugging this is not made easier by gdb's refusal to trace
into the child process and the inability of the child to produce a
core dump.
