Hi Joel,
After adding that line
3769 clear_libcrypto_errors();
3770 if ((pk = PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(bio, NULL, NULL,
3771 (char *)passphrase)) == NULL) {
3772 r = convert_libcrypto_error();
3773 ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
3774 goto out;
3775 }
$ bin/ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa-oldformat
34383182280:error:09FFF072:lib(9):func(4095):reason(114):/usr/src/crypto/libressl/crypto/pem/pem_lib.c:529:
Error loading key "/home/bernard/.ssh/id_rsa-oldformat": invalid format
Cheers, Bernard.
