Hello

There is a problem when running ssh-agent from a shell prompt: when you
logout from that shell the console window won't close until one kills
the agent.

I am using keychain (part of the cygwin distribution) which loads ssh-agent automatically and I don't have this problem. The keychain script is invoked as part of my /etc/profile and the ssh-agent continues to run after I close my bash prompt and a remote ssh session. Let me know if you need more details.
