If I have not started Emacs under ssh-agent, or if I have not done
ssh-add.

W32 and X. Well, under Windows NT and Linux, ssh eventually times out
and I get a "broken pipe from server" or some such error message.
Under Win95 and Win98, it just hangs forever; I have to reboot to get
things fully cleaned up. Hence I finally got motivated to do this fix.

I haven't checked.

Right, just ssh and the cvs process waiting for it. Emacs is ok.
