This is the really strange thing, the test suite works just fine:

| [...]
| 413 ssh_agent                                     ok
| [...]

Seems like I've to digg deeper to find out why 0.40 now dislikes my key
in the SSH-Agent. My current situation now is:

The last key in my SSH-Agent is the RSA key for Monotone which worked
just fine during the last months. But as you can see from my commit
step before, Monotone no longer seems to contact my SSH-Agent (which
here is based on PAgent from PuTTY). I don't know why. Exactly the
same PAgent process is what I used with Monotone 0.39 just yesterday
before I upgraded to Monotone 0.40, the I've definetely no change on the
SSH-Agent side.

Strange, I'll try to find out what is going on here...
