I can confirm this. I'm now running with cygwin1-20050308.dll-1. All
invocations of ssh-add now hang. Here's a snippet of strace output from
the first invocation after a reboot:
184 47362 [main] ssh-add 2980 fhandler_socket::signal_secret_event:
signaled secret_event
36925366 36972728 [unknown (0xC24)] ssh-add 2980 _cygtls::remove: wait
0xFFFFFFFF
where I interrupted after 36 seconds. This is the same as with version
1.5.13. But after I interrupt and then rerun, it hangs in a different
place:
179 45744 [main] ssh-add 3168 fhandler_socket::signal_secret_event:
signaled secret_event
277 46021 [main] ssh-add 3168 fhandler_socket::connect: Received eid
credentials: pid: 2868, uid: 1008, gid: 513
<snip>
38 95525 [main] ssh-add 3168 readv: readv (3, 0x22E440, 1)
blocking, sigcatchers 0
33 95558 [main] ssh-add 3168 readv: no need to call ready_for_read
28241644 28337202 [unknown (0xCEC)] ssh-add 3168 _cygtls::remove: wait
0xFFFFFFFF
where again I interrupted after 28 seconds. Full output of cygcheck -
svr and 1st and 2nd invocations of 'strace ssh-add $key1 $key2 $key3'
are at
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/cygwin/cygcheck-svr.txt
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/cygwin/ssh-add-strace1.txt
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/cygwin/ssh-add-strace2.txt
cygcheck -svr is the same as before, except for the version of
cygwin1.dll.
Note that I'm no longer running ssh-add as part of my bash startup
scripts. I've suppressed that, and am now running a simple 'ssh-add
$key1 $key2 $key3' from the shell prompt. The result is the same.

I can't confirm this. It works fine for me.
Just to add to the fun though, I also find that one of my otherwise
long-standing stable apps, autossh, now crashes within five minutes of
boot every time, with 1.5.13 or later. I'll document this ASAP and
submit it under a different thread.
