Let's set Importance to Low to make it clear that this won't be worked on any time soon. Sorry Andrej - with only one person marked as affected we can't prioritise this.

When I use ssh to connect to a server, and then use scp to shuffle a file from that server to my workstation the ssh-agent on my workstation dies after the file was transferred. This has started happening after the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. I have wrapped strace into the fluxbox startup to keep an eye on ssh- agent (I initially didn't see a pattern to the sudden death), here's an example of the breakdown post transfer. select(4, [3], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) accept(3, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, NULL}, [2]) = 4 getsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERCRED, {pid=21130, uid=1000, gid=1000}, [12]) = 0 getuid() = 1000 fcntl(4, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) fcntl(4, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 select(5, [3 4], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "\0\0\0\1\v", 1024) = 5 select(5, [3 4], [4], NULL, NULL) = 1 (out [4]) write(4, "\0\0\1<\f\0\0\0\1\0\0\1\27\0\0\0\7ssh-rsa\0\0\0\3\1\0\1\0"..., 320) = 320 select(5, [3 4], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "", 1024) = 0 close(4) = 0 select(4, [3], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) accept(3, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, NULL}, [2]) = 4 getsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERCRED, {pid=21284, uid=1000, gid=1000}, [12]) = 0 getuid() = 1000 fcntl(4, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) fcntl(4, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 select(5, [3 4], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "", 1024) = 0 close(4) = 0 select(4, [3], [], NULL, NULL) = ?
