Hm.  What I normally do is stick "set -x" at the top of test-exec.sh,
"exit 1" at the end of the "fail" function, then re-run the failing ssh
command with -vvv.  In the example you posted, that'd be something like

/tmp/openssh/ssh -vvv -A -1 -F /tmp/openssh/regress/ssh_proxy somehost '/tmp/openssh/ssh -1 -F /tmp/openssh/regress/ssh_proxy somehost exit 51

(the "exit 1" in fail() causes it to exit leaving the keys all set up).

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