ssh-agent segmentation fault

I had openssh running just fine on cygwin. But after a recent update of openssh, I start getting the segmentation fault error when starting ssh-agent. Has anyone encountered such behavior and how can I resolve it? Many thanks.

$ ssh-agent
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ cat ssh-agent.exe.stackdump

1Have you tried switching back to the old version of openssh? Or at least switching to a different version? Might not address your problem directly, but is probably the quickest solution. – Jarvin – 2010-09-30T21:44:20.957

Switching back to the previous version worked for me. I was seeing the same behavior as OP. The version I have now is 5.5p1 (working). The newer version (5.6, I think), is not working.
