Again, not to quibble over terminology, but did you actually do a "ps -ef"
and "kill -9" the stale cygrunsrv processes?  In my case, when the service
failed to start, stopping it didn't work either (at least as far as the
stale processes were concerned).  Just to dot all the i's, look in the
Task Manager for any process that has "cygrunsrv" as its executable name.
