SSH works, but SFTP fails on non-admin users

Hello -
I just upgraded cygwin a few days ago (a lot of packages were upgraded),
and all of a sudden, I have an odd issue with SFTP.
On this box 'icenine', I have two users, one administrator, one
non-admin. I can ssh and scp into the box with both users without
problems; I can also sftp into the box with the admin user. But when I
try to sftp into icenine with the non-admin user, an error occurs on
icenine:
"This application has failed to start because cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll was
not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
I've tried creating new users to investigate the problem. When I
created a new non-admin user, the same problem resulted. When I created
a new admin user, I _could_ log in with sftp. So the problem lies in
the distinction between admin and non-admin.
I've tried uninstalling the packages openssh and openssl and crypt, and
reinstalling... no change.
I also have another very similar box, with the same user setup, and
where I upgraded cygwin at the same time.. and no such behavior happens
there. I've looked at the permissions, both windows and cygwin
permissions, in lots of places on these two boxes, but I don't see any
obvious wrong permissions.. the permissions on /bin/cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll
and /usr/bin/cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll are the default, as well as /bin and
/usr/bin...
I have looked everywhere online, and I don't think anyone has had this
admin/non-admin problem before... does anyone have any ideas?
I've attached my `cygcheck -srv` output.
Thanks in advance,
DJ Lee
