Thanks.  This looks better.

OK, I'm going to assume that 'sshd' was actually started when
you tried the latest rounds of tests.  If this wasn't the case, you have
another (probably non-Cygwin) SSH server running which is causing the
problem.  You'll need to shut that service down and start the Cygwin
one before trying again.

Beyond that, you could try invoking invoking 'yes' through 'strace' and
see if the output there gives you any clues.  You could also try cutting
down your path to eliminate potential interactions.  Lastly, you could
try adding "detect_bloda" to your Cygwin environment variable to see if
it points to some conflicting program/service:

<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html#cygwinenv-implemented-options>

If those don't provide any clues, I'm out of ideas. :-(
