Line 882 of ssh-agent.c reads: if (ac == 0 && !c_flag && !k_flag && !s_flag && !d_flag) { stuff to set c_flag=1 iff $SHELL=*csh } This means that someone running ssh-agent -k will have k_flag set and therefore won't get the auto-shell determination, therefore leaving them with bash-style commands. I'm guessing the debug flag shouldn't be here either, so the correct line would read: if (ac == 0 && !c_flag && !s_flag) { This was originally found to be broken on IRIX 6.5.15m, but looking at the source made it obvious it was cross-platform.
thanks, patch applied
