Dou you use a key to log into that host? I only use ssh-askpass to
enter my key passphrase, not for entering passwords. See ssh-add's
manpage for details.

How did you make sure? It's hard to believe that ssh would make such a
gross mistake in either code or documentation.

Sure looks like the password is fed from somewhere.
