Thanks!  This will go in my list of valuable tips (which I already
should have known).

No, but I am a complete idiot. :)  Several days ago, I saw that I
needed to clear out some disk space.  I saw "/usr/src/linux/"
hogging up lots of space, and I thought, "I have no plans to
recompile my kernel -- I don't figure I'll need that stuff."  So I
deleted it!  Little did I know, I really did need it.

I just reinstalled the linuxinc.tgz package, and then openssh
configured itself and installed just fine.  Thanks!
