 truss log on AIX 6.1

I tested openssh-5.3p1 on 3 machines:
  AIX ... 1 5 004036AA4C00
  AIX ... 3 5 0040D7CB4C00
  AIX ... 1 6 0003EADAD300
on each of them I got the same result:
  ...
  debug3: safely_chroot: checking '/home/test'
  Changed root directory to "/home/test"
  Failed to set process credentials
.. then it quits.
I attached the truss log from AIX 6.1 (truss_log.txt)
I also attached the fix that worked for me (this code was posted
already in https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=1669 ). I
call setpcred before chroot.
Already posted this on https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1567 but had no reply.
