Thanks for your reply.
Since I also have other uses for my time, would anyone else investigate,
please? I'd appreciate it. Perhaps install FreeBSD 4.x into a VM.
Sounds like fun for someone who has time.
I don't think the bug is in OpenSSH per se, nor in FreeBSD 4's PAM (my
understanding is that it was cut-down Linux-PAM at the time, which was
replaced with OpenPAM in 5.x), nor in pam_opie. libopie sounds more
plausible. But I could be wrong.
