1.7.0-51: Problem using ssh public/private key authentication

["Michael H." <mchlhn at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

When I am using cygwin 1.5 both the public/private key and the
keyboard authentication with ssh work without problems. On 1.7
keyboard authentication also works but public/private key
authentication produces following error on the machine which I use to
connect to the server (client is Linux - server is Windows XP SP3 /
Cygwin):

4 [main] -bash 3392 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
dynamically determine load address for 'WSAGetLastError' (handle
0xFFFFFFFF), Win32 error 126
Connection to xx.xx.xx.xx closed.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

Installation:
- Packages to install (chosen packages):
-- openssh (5.2p1-3)

Afterwards following steps have been done in the bash:
$ ssh-host-config
...
*** Query: Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
...
*** Query: new local account 'sshd'? (yes/no) yes
...
*** Query: Do you want to install sshd as a service?
*** Query: (Say "no" if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no) yes
...
*** Query: Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: []

I appended the content of id_dsa.pub (generated by ssh-keygen) of the
Linux machine to the authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh on the remote
Windows machine.

$ net start sshd

has been executed to start the service.
Afterwards I tried to connect to the remote machine via ssh and then
following error occured:

4 [main] -bash 3392 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
dynamically determine load address for 'WSAGetLastError' (handle
0xFFFFFFFF), Win32 error 126
Connection to xx.xx.xx.xx closed.


Thanks for any help,

Michael
