This has been discussed on the mailing list before, search the
archives.  I noticed it with cygwin-1.3.10 on NT4, and found that
enabling ntsec solved the problem for me.  But there are lots of
things to check, like the correctness of your /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files, rights given to the inetd service account,
execute permissions on the applications and cygwin1.dll, ...

It's a mystery, to me, why it fails without ntsec but works with
ntsec, all other things being the same.  But I've stopped worrying
about it, now that I use ntsec.

Good luck.  Report back if you have something new to add.

Regards,
David
