Does it say anything else?  Have you run gdb on the core file to see where it 
crashed?  Have you tried running strace on it to see what it was doing before 
it crashed?

One thing you can do is use systemd-nspawn to create a chroot setup running an 
older version.  On my workstations I have many old versions of Debian in 
chroots via systemd-nspawn.  I have configured it to run sshd in the chroot 
and then I give each chroot a different address so I can ssh to any of them.  
A single sshd process takes hardly any resources so having a dozen chroots 
running at the same time is no big deal.

Here's the systemd service file I use to start a wheezy chroot.  If I wanted 
the home directory bind mounted (which you probably want) I'd add --bind=/home

# cat /etc/systemd/system/wheezy.service 
[Unit]
Description=wheezy

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-nspawn -D /chroot/wheezy -M wheezy --bind=/tmp /
usr/local/sbin/run-sshd
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
StandardOutput=syslog
KillMode=mixed
Type=notify
RestartForceExitStatus=133
SuccessExitStatus=133

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here's the script that is used to start sshd.

# cat /chroot/wheezy/usr/local/sbin/run-sshd
#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p /var/run/sshd
exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D
