You have been subscribed to a public bug:
ssh-add seems not to work with the confirmation (-c) option. Trying to
require that identities be subject to confirmation when used brings up
the error "Error reading response length from authentication socket. "
$ ssh-add -c /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa
Enter passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa:
Error reading response length from authentication socket.
Could not add identity: /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa
Addding keys not subject to confirmation when used works as normal:
$ ssh-add /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa
Enter passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa:
Identity added: /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa (/home/user/.ssh/key_rsa)
