Problem with 20110616 snapshot, ssh-agent, and mintty

I'm having a problem with recent snapshots, including the 20110616
snapshot. I normally start ssh-agent using keychain as part of my
bash startup. The problem I have is that once the bash process that
starts the ssh-agent process exits, subsequent starts of mintty
fail.
Here's an example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Users\drothe>uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 tela64 1.7.10s(0.248/5/3) 20110616 23:01:21 i686 Cygwin
C:\Users\drothe>bash --norc
bash-4.1$ mintty bash --norc -c 'ssh-agent'
bash-4.1$ mintty bash --norc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That last start of mintty fails with the message "Failed to fork
child process: No such file or directory."
This is happening on my Win7 64-bit installation and my WinXP Pro
32-bit installation.
