Yes, that fixes the problem. The only unusual behavior I see is when I 
start 4 windows running "ssh-add -l" in a loop and then Ctrl-C one of 
them. Occasionally, the "ssh-add -l" executions in the other windows 
take a long time to complete (~15-30 seconds). They do eventually get 
started again, though. If I manually execute "ssh-add -l" in another 
window, they all start right back up immediately.

But, no "ssh-add -l" calls are hanging, so this problem is solved. Thanks!
