Did you check the versions of sshd running on Solaris and Linux?  FWIW,
ssh into Cygwin from Cygwin shows the same results as you say you get
from Solaris.  But this doesn't seem to be a Cygwin problem.  If checking
the sshd versions doesn't shed light on the problem, I would suggest
taking the question to a SSH forum, perhaps with a bent toward Linux.
