The problem has not recurred (yet) so I don't know if ssh-agent was
at 100% CPU.  All I know at this point is that ssh-agent is *definitely*
involved because killing that process restored ssh functionality. I.e.

before killing ssh-agent: ssh connects but no prompt is displayed
after killing ssh-agent: ssh connects and operates normally
