On one of my upgraded 1.7.1 system sshd quit running as a service and would not restart.  I tried a few things 
but never could make it work so I decided to reinstall.  

I uninstalled cygwin per the FAQ and a posting on removing sshd

http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all
http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/printsrv/remove-cygwin.html

I reinstalled cygwin choosing defaults options.   Then I added openssh to this install.  
Ran ssh-host-config  answered all the questions yes and set CYGWIN to "tty ntsec".  
After this "cygrunsrv -S  sshd" fails. most of the time - although I've seen it work a few times.  
An example session is below.   

Any suggestions on a work around or how to trace this ?
