Reconfigured with privilege separation turned on. Same problem. 
Interesting note: I removed /var/empty so that the ssh-host-config would 
recreate it. It does, but it's owned by my user. Starting sshd yields 
the following in /var/log/sshd.log:

/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.

At first I did chown SYSTEM:SYSTEM /var/empty but that didn't help. It 
was not until I did a chown sshd_server /var/empty that I was able to 
start sshd. It was not apparent to me that, in this context, "root" == 
"sshd_server" nor that ssh-host-config, knowing that I'm running on 2003 
and needing to create a local sshd_server user and using privilege 
separation, would not know to do a chown sshd_server on /var/empty. Bug?

Again, whenever I go to view the Application log in the Event Viewer 
after trying an ssh it's corrupted. I can right click on the Application 
log and Clear All Events, thus creating a new Application log, which 
works. But if I do an ssh and go back to the Event Viewer it says the 
Application log is corrupted!

Meantime I edited sshd_server's rights so I could do a "runas 
/user:sshd_server cmd". From here I started bash --login -i then did an 
"strace /usr/sbin/sshd -d > /tmp/sshd.strace.log 2>&1" (attached). The 
"relevant" part seems to be here:

I'd appreciate any pointers (guesses) at this point?
