So I have this problem too.  I stopped the inetd service, ran
/usr/sbin/sshd -d, discovered that at some point the relevant files
should have been moved from /usr/local/etc to /etc, moved them,
connection works fine.

Restarted inetd, tried to connect, same crash.

Rebooted, in case inetd had somehow preserved some state, that works.

So, fix is to

> cp /usr/local/etc/*ssh* /etc

and reboot.
