After reading the FAQ entry, the referenced cygrunsrv README and
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html, I made the following
changes to my configuration, independently of each other:

- Changed the group IDs of Administrator and my user account from 513
(None) to 544 (Administrators). This had no effect.

- Reinstalled sshd so as to log in as Administrator, as follows: 

cygrunsrv --install sshd -u Administrator -w mypasswd -p /usr/sbin/sshd.exe

When I subsequently ran cygrunsrv --start sshd, I got: 
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service:  QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

sshd was then hung in "starting" state, according to Service Manager,
and I had to reboot to clear it.
