ssh-agent sh -c ssh-add => Could not open a connection to your authentication agent

[John Hein]

% ssh-agent sh -c ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent

This happens with the following combinations currently available via
setup.exe: cygwin 1.7.13-1, 1.7.14-2, openssh 5.9p1-1 and
openssh 6.0p1-1.

Running it like so...

% eval `ssh-agent`
% ssh-add

... works as expected.

Rolling back to the 20120220 snapshot (1.7.11-ish) "fixes" it (at
least with openssh 5.9p1-1).  I haven't yet tried to bisect further.

Possibly related (similar symptoms)...

I have not tried to find an openssh 5.8 package to try.
