Thanks for your reply, Corinna!

I do, in fact, have two copies (both the same) of 
Cygwin1.dll.  One is the proper one in /bin and 
the other is in my chroot jail <chroot>/bin since 
this is the only way I can give the user the 
ability to do things like 'ls', etc.

Are you saying that this is what is killing me?  
Why doesn't it die for empty passwords?  Is 
there something in the pubkey authentication 
that might be holding a reference open over the 
chroot?  If this is true, then chroot upon SSH 
login is impossible under Cygwin!
