Bug#530609: ssh-agent: off-by-one error in SSH_AUTH_SOCK numbering

[Jon Dowland <jon+bts@alcopop.org>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.1p1-5+b1
Severity: minor

jon@tchicaya:~$ eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 7289
jon@tchicaya:~$ ps -eaf | grep 7289
jon       7289     1  0 11:14 ?        00:00:00 ssh-agent
jon       7291  7263  0 11:14 pts/4    00:00:00 grep 7289
jon@tchicaya:~$ ls $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/tmp/ssh-HdyWeT7288/agent.7288

This might not even be considered a bug, but the pid
suffixed to the auth sock filename is numerically one
shorter than the pid of the ssh-agent process. Perhaps it's
the PID of the ssh-agent process invoked by myself and the
running instance afterwards was a forked child? Unsure. It
doesn't impact the working of the agent, it's just a bit
confusing :)
