Mark FWIW, On my Intel based Linux server I had a very similar situation with two different resolutions
1. did end up being a bad symlink to a lib, in my case even the symlink did exist what was linked to did not so it caused this problem 2, This was really weird. and it's so windows like. i removed and reinstalled my SSH client being sure all sessions were deleted as well, rebuilt my session and it started working fine. so something is the client got screwed up One test might be to do a ssh localhost and see if you can ssh in locally with password. i.e. it may be client related and this might tell you.
