ssh'ing to yarrow gives:

Was this intentional?
Yarrow was used as name for at least one other server before the current login server. This one was installed recently (july), and your host keys might be older (and thus correspond to the wrong server).
No, I use yarrow regularly and the behaviour changed this weekend. After comparing backups, the only change was a ~/.ssh/known_hosts2 with the contents:
| yarrow.toolserver.org ssh-dss [...]==
After removing this file, ssh ceased to complain.
I played around with Net::SSH::Perl & Co. this weekend, and my assumption is that - as it doesn't work quote right :-) - it dumped an invalid key to this file which caused ssh to barf.
So: No RSA key changed on yarrow :-).
