It does fire up on the commandline, but only if you have keys in ~/.ssh 
(or as supplied in -i/IdentityFile) that require a passphrase. It's the 
passphrase of a given identity file that gets added to the ssh keychain.

I wasn't actually using the SSHKeychain tunneling stuff in Tiger anyway, 
and tunneling the normal way seems to work, so it solves my problem. :-)

(I hadn't actually been using SSHKeychain on tiger very long - until 
recently was just using the 'keychain' script from Gentoo, but that 
couldn't handle Aqua apps that wanted to make ssh connections, and I'd 
just installed the svn finder plugin SCPlugin and wanted to use it with 
an svn+ssh repo. :-)
