If this is of any help as far as testing I normally start up multiple sessions 
for login using the following for my cygwin.bat file:

@echo off
SET MAKE_MODE=unix
SET CYGWIN=binmode ntsec nostrip_title title tty     
SET PATH=d:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;d:\cygwin\usr\bin;d:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%;.
D:
chdir \cygwin

start CMD /c bin\rxvt -geometry 90x30 -fg grey -bg midnightblue -cr red -sr -sl 
2000 -fn "Lucida Console-12" -tn rxvt -e /usr/bin/login

start CMD /c bin\login.exe 
start CMD /c bin\login.exe 
start CMD /c bin\login.exe
exit

Prior to the current snapshot depending on system load I might or might not get 
4 sessions started as they should be with a login prompt.  With the current 
snapshot 20040517 this has worked successfully repeated times with some heavy 
loads on my laptop.
