The problem is here
728 5428494 [main] xterm 1536 seteuid32: uid: 15136 myself->gid: 10513
385 5428879 [main] xterm 1536 seteuid32: Process token not verified
cygwin thinks that you want to set your group to 10513 and uid 15136.
It checks your process to see if you are already there (you should be)
but concludes you are not. Why?
It then tries to put you there, but because you are not privileged
it fails.
If you are on the machine where it fails, could you type "id",
with CYGWIN=ntsec in your env?
I just downloaded xfree and will try on my side.
