If that is a direct return of a Win32 error then:

   $ net helpmsg 255

   The extended attributes are inconsistent.

You may have better luck getting to the bottom of this
by running the server with debug turned on and running the client
with verbose flags turned completely on.  If you find something
when doing that which you want to follow-up on the list,
please send exactly what you did, what you saw, and your
cygcheck output (-srv) to the list (see http://cygwin.com/problems.html
for details).  If you really are getting "stuck" when parsing the input,
then you might find that comparing the output of the "old" and "new"
ssh output when running under strace shows you something.
