[Bro] New installation crashes appear to be ssh-related

We have a new Bro installation, built from source on Debian  wheezy, that keeps core dumping. It looks like it's choking on some code related to ssh. Here is the diag for the latest crash. It is identical to the other one I have:

[BroControl] > diag

This is just running the default setup, with the local subnets configured, as we are just starting with Bro. This is a really low end server, but the capture interface is only running at 100 meg so there are really no resource issues. (Yes, this is a 32-bit box. It's pretty old. That's why I built from source.)
The first crash occurred after a few minutes. Then it ran for nearly 24 hours before this crash. Is there something I can tweak to prevent this?

Thanks,
Ted Llewellyn
