System Error 1376 in ssh-host-config - more examples

[Bruce Halco <zcygwin at halcomp dot com>]

On January 1, I updated cygwin on 23 systems.  The older systems had 
cygwin updates as of January 2013  and newer systems had whatever 
version of cygwin was current at the time of installation. Two run 
Windows XP Pro SP3, 12 run Windows Server 2003 SP2, and 9 run Windows 7 
Pro SP1. They are all running as POS servers in a restaurant 
environment, and the configurations and installed software have only 
minor differences.

Twenty-one of the cygwin updates ran without incident, two failed with 
the System Error 1376 during ssh-host config. The failed systems were 
the two most recently installed - one in February 2014, one in June 
2014, both running Windows 7. The most recent installation prior to 
those was December 2013.

I have wiped cygwin and installed fresh, but the problem persists.

I can't find any important differences between the working and 
non-working systems although of course there must be SOMETHING different.

The output of cygcheck -s -r -v for the two problem systems are attached 
as cygcheck-pc.txt and cygcheck-lv.txt. For comparison, the output of 
cygcheck for the most recent installation which updated cleanly is 
attached as cygcheck-wi.txt.

I hope this provides some clues.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
