Actually, your answer indicates you did not. Look again at the emphasis 
I added; it isn't pointing at the Cygwin versions.

You haven't clarified how you "know" that this is not caused by changes 
in how the OS treats the SYSTEM account, or service, or etc. between 
2000 and XP.

My guess is "new security prohibition of Windows XP". Have you 
eliminated that?

Unless you have evidence that this is not the case (meaning, one working 
and one non-working install /on the exact same OS/), why are you 
insisting that Cygwin and/or sshd is at fault?
