Hello,
have you tried downloading the latest Ncrack version from the svn repository?
Another problem might be that you are trying Ncrack against SSHv1 servers, which
it currently doesn't support. I remember some other folks had reported the same
error and it happened on that particular occasion.

A temporary workaround so as not to crash the entire cracking session would be to
separate your SSHv2 and SSHv1 scans (nmap -sV would certainly help here) and skip
any SSHv1 ones. 

As soon as I finish with the university exams, I plan on continuing working on this and
other promised Ncrack features.

Regards,
