ssh-agent won't die peacefully at logout or shutdown

[Gunnar Brading]

The problem I am experiencing is that my ssh-agent won't die when 
logging out or shutting down my Windows XP.
Instead I get the standard dialog box about "Cannot end this program" 
with the option to end now, or cancel. Pusing the end now button
solves the problem, but I cannot find any reason for the dialog to 
appear at all.

Searching the net, and mail-archives I can find references to similar 
problems but no solutions. I have tried using keychain, and the same problem
exists there.

It seems that ssh-agent is the only program having this problem. It 
refuses to die automatically at logout, but requries some manual
intervention to be killed. All manual methods like "ssh-agent -k" and 
similar of course works. But why does it not die automatically?

The problem is the same if I use keychain, other scripts or just plain 
start it up manually from my bash.
