The 6.4p1-1/1.0.1f-2 work fine here and haven't been reported as generally
being a problem.  If you're seeking specific help, I recommend reading and
following the problem reporting guidelines given here:

That said, an updated OpenSSH-6.5p1-1 was just announced this morning:

   <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2014-01/msg00029.html>

If you're interested in trying it out but your mirror doesn't have it
yet, check some others.
