We have reproduced this with the CMake git repo.  You can find out how 
to get a clone of that here:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git

So to clone CMake do this:
  git clone git://cmake.org/cmake.git CMake

Once you clone CMake to a machine, you can then clone from that machine 
like this:

Commands for ssh clone:

$ git clone user@machine:path/to/repo.git

Commands for rsh clone:

$ echo '#!/bin/sh
exec rsh -l user "$@"' > ~/ssh-rsh
$ chmod 750 ~/ssh-rsh
$ GIT_SSH=~/ssh-rsh git clone machine:path/to/repo.git

Commands for plink clone:

One thing that might be a good thing to try is to bisect the openssh 
source.  That might eliminate the cygwin dll as the source of the 
problem.  Or at least find out which change in openssh caused the problem.
