\_ Because you're execing ssh-agent you're no longer going through the bash
\_ shutdown stuff when you log off.
But shouldn't bash obey normal bashisms when it exits, regardless of
how it's called?
My trick:
tcsh% ssh-agent -c > ~/.ssh/agent # as needed
# line from .cshrc, or by hand:
source ~/.ssh/agent
Of course, this is limited to one instance of agent and doesn't probe
it for reality, but it's not like I'm expecting non-GUI unix programs
to die all that frequently. :-)
FWIW, the most useful stuff I've done is to throw it post-actively
into my window manager so that the shells it spawns (which is a fair
number over the course of the day) get the magic. sawfish rocks.
