I would not be surprised if some of the malware... err software that
our IT folks load onto windows installations is causing some problem
(BLODA-like effects in cygwin parlance).  If other XP users in AD
domains are not having similar trouble, I'm content to chalk this up
to a local issue (that is perhaps tickled by some interaction with
cygwin 1.7.34+).  For now cygserver is an acceptible workaround and
some day this XP box will be retired (wiped and replaced with
something other than windows).
