Yow, that report was from nearly a year ago. I've been using
ssh-agent + ssh-add on Win98 every since. I'm using it now on DLL
version 1.3.2. If your Cygwin installation is up to date, I would be
surprised if your problem were the same as mine.
Good luck getting it sorted, it sure is a nice feature. :-)
Regards,
David
