Problem with 20050215 snapshot and ssh-agent forwarding

I'm having a problem with the 20050215 snapshot (and the 20050131 as
well). My ssh-agent connection is not being forwarded by ssh. This is
working fine with the 20041119 snapshot.

Here are the steps to reproduce the problem. I've got ssh and sshd
correctly configured to forward ssh-agent connections. The second ssh
command should not prompt to the public key passphrase.

% keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa

Enter passphrase for /home/drothe/.ssh/id_dsa:

% . ~/.keychain/tela-sh
% ssh `hostname`
% ssh `hostname`
Enter passphrase for key '/home/drothe/.ssh/id_dsa':

I don't think 'It's better than hurling yourself into a meat grinder'
is a good rationale for doing something.
