I had exactly the same issue: in my .zshrc/.bashrc I run keychain if
there is also an ssh agent running under my account. I noticed that
under Vista I had to manually run keychain. The line in question is:
pgrep -u $(id -un) ssh-agent && sshagent
where sshagent is
sshagent()
{ keychain id_dsa
source ~/.keychain/$(uname -n)-sh;}
The problem was that "pgrep -u $(id -un) ssh-agent" didn't show my
running ssh agent although I could see it in ps.
The good news is that now it works (maybe with the Cygwin update from
last week?). Maybe it'll work for you, too, if you update.
