I still don't understand the following:
1. Why there are occasional duplicate ssh-agent processes? 
   (the forking by grep of a bash process only explains the duplicate
   bash process behavior)

2. Why is the start time Jan 1, 1970 (or in my case Dec 31 1969?) when
   the process was only started today?
