Hi Eric!

Thanks for the suggestion about keychain; I'll take a look.

The alternative invoked is /usr/libexec/ssh-askpass/x11-ssh-askpass
and nothing's changed there.  I'm still bemused why the behaviour has
changed, though; ssh-askpass has not changed at all in the last two
months.

Best wishes,

   Julian
