Well, I can confirm that the agent is receiving the request, but I can't
figure out why it isn't sending a response that PUTTY likes. I started
gpg-agent using "gpg-agent -vv --daemon --enable-putty-support
--debug-level guru". The following is what I get in the console when
attempting to connect to a server with putty:

gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: ssh map file 'PageantRequest00001bac'
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: ssh map handle 0x0000014c
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG:           my sid:
'S-1-5-21-1798341051-2053502947-23644474
9-1000'
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: ssh map file sid:
'S-1-5-21-1798341051-2053502947-23644474
9-1000'
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: ssh IPC buffer at 0x003d0000
gpg-agent[5436]: ssh request handler for request_identities (11) started
gpg-agent[5436]: ssh request handler for request_identities (11) ready
gpg-agent[5436]: sending ssh response of length 5
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: chan_0x0000014c -> OK Pleased to meet you
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: chan_0x0000014c <- GETINFO pid
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: chan_0x0000014c -> D 5436
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: chan_0x0000014c -> OK
gpg-agent[5436]: socket is still served by this server
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: chan_0x0000014c <- BYE
gpg-agent[5436]: DBG: chan_0x0000014c -> OK closing connection

Everything seems to be configured as it should be as far as I can tell,
but I can't figure it out. If nobody has any ideas, I'll drop the thread
here.
