I'm not using ssh/sshd, but from the conversation that's been going on,
I believe CYGWIN_TTY=1 is the important one. Sergey's DLL does not
support pseudo terminals without it (or if it's set to 0).

It's important to have CYGWIN_TTY set before cygwin.dll loads. Also, if
you eventually want to run sshd as a service, remember that the user it
will run as also needs to have CYGWIN_TTY set. I'd recommend putting
CYGWIN_TTY=1 in your global environment and then rebooting.
