ssh-agent's timeout/maximum lifetime "-t" broken?


As per http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent, I am trying
to use the -t option with openssh 3.5p1-3 and I get:
rhauser at PC:/<3>rhauser/Desktop> eval `ssh-agent -c -t 900`
ssh-agent: unknown option -- t
Usage: ssh-agent [options] [command [args ...]]
Options:
  -c          Generate C-shell commands on stdout.
  -s          Generate Bourne shell commands on stdout.
  -k          Kill the current agent.
  -d          Debug mode.
  -a socket   Bind agent socket to given name.

Context where I tried to use this:
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496

P.S.: Another strange problem I have is that my ~/.ssh/identity files are
ignored and /rsync/.ssh/identity is taken?? (see
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498 and the corresponding
tracker item in http://cvsgui.sourceforge.net - it's down right now, but
most like is http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=10072 since there is a
side effect also for ssh'ed wincvs)
