  The reason it fixed your issue is probably because SYSTEMROOT is not set in
your cygwin environment, and this causes winsock failures, which manifest when
telnet (client) tries to look up the well-known port number for telnet
(service) in the ports database.  So the interesting question is, what is
going on in your environment?  Is SYSTEMROOT set or not?  Is it correct or
not?  If that doesn't explain it,

read the bit about sending your cygcheck output *as an attachment please* to
the list and we'll see if anything obvious shows up.
