Sorry, but I'm not an expert on ssh-agent.  Everything I said above is based on 
doing an internet search and looking briefly at the ssh-agent source code.

My only suggestion would be to attach gdb to the process when it starts running 
wild and see if you can figure out why it's inf-looping.  If you don't know how 
to do this, someone who does know would have to be able to reproduce the problem.
