Ooh, no. The interesting part happens on the server side. You must
start sshd under strace. Create a new service using cygrunsrv, e. g.
called "trace_sshd", which runs `/bin/strace /usr/sbin/sshd -D'. Run
it instead of the normal sshd service. The output will be automatically
redirected to /var/log/trace_sshd.log. Be aware that the file might
get *very* big. And it's a good idea to switch off privilege separation
in your sshd_config file for this.
Another step you can try first: There's a small chance that an Event
Log entry has been created when the problem happens. I can't tell you
how that might look like, but it's perhaps worth a try.
Just musing: Is it possible that the /etc/passwd or /etc/group file
gets frequently rewritten on the server machine? Perhaps something
goes wrong there. It shouldn't but...
