That's an interesting point. socket pairs are prefered over pipes in
OpenSSH. Using pipes is a special option. I'm currently on vacation
and need the time for my move to another town. If somebody is willing
to build OpenSSH using pipes and test that situation again I would
gladly appreciate this.

Using pipes instead of socket pairs is easy: After configuring just
open `defines.h', goto line 378 and remove the comments from this
line containing `#define USE_PIPES 1', then make. If that solves the
problem (and still works in all other situations) I will release
a new Cygwin version of OpenSSH then.
