This seems to work OK on my Solaris 8 box.  Is the agent still showing 
in the process list?  Perhaps it's something else other than the agent 
causing the hang, is there any other long-running processes?

$ eval `ssh-agent`
Agent pid 426
$ eval `ssh-agent -k`
Agent pid 426 killed
$ exit
logout
Connection to localhost closed.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
