after this line the log ends. It seems it can not setup that socket correctly which lead me 
to the assumption you have ZoneAlarm. ZoneAlarm is known to change the behaviour of Windows
TCP/IP stack and this seems to cause troubles with cygwin since cygwin must provide unix 
like semantics and has problems if something does not work it was expected.

So it is not a problem with insufficient rights to access the network (in fact
xkbcomp does not need any network access) but a problem with different/unexpected
behaviour of windows subsystems. I doubt this can be solved without digging 
into the startup code of the cygwin library where it stopped
