probably, missing SYSTEMROOT environment variable. rshd cleans
children environment, and this prevents winsock from initializing
correctly. cygwin has been patched recently to force SYSTEMROOT and
SYSTEMDRIVE for all child processes, and it, hopefully, wil fix your
problem. try latest snapshot or wait for upcoming 1.3.2 release.
