The problem was that ... er ... zlclient is not a service at all, or so 
it seems to me (since "tasklist /svc" in a command prompt listed it, it 
first looked as service to me).

So I stopped the service:
$ cygrunsrv -E sshd

then removed it
$ cygrunsrv -R sshd

and then this command solved the problem (there was another problem of 
CYGWIN env. too but I didn't know about it earlier):
$ cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -f "Cygwin SSH Demon"  -a'-D' -e 
'CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty' -y tcpip -y vsmon

After giving this command, I restarted the service
$ cygrunsrv -S sshd

and rebooted. I was then able to log in to the XP box just after booting 
(without loggin as any user).
