Severity: minor
jon@tchicaya:~$ eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 7289

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 :)

I'm not sure why I felt the need to write this in a bug
report because there's no buggy behaviour: It doesn't say
anywhere that I've read that the number at the end of the
socket filename should correspond to the agent pid, so
there's no reason I should expect it to.
