>Environment:

	ssh-1.2.18 port, recently added to the RELENG_2_2 branch.

>Description:

	if ssh-agent is passed no options, just a command to invoke,
it gets stuck in a while() loop in main() forever. this is apparent on
cursory inspection of main. i have not investigated whether this problem
is with ssh-1.2.18 itself or just freebsd's port.

>How-To-Repeat:

	ssh-agent xinit[RET]

>Fix:
	one way would be to combine the while test with the enclosed if,
	that would prevent the infinite loop.
