Subject: access port 127.0.0.1:1052

After upgrading from 1.3.9 to 1.3.12, I noticed that many cygwin programs
including bash, ls, which, echo and clear attempt to access port 1052 on
127.0.0.1 (ZoneAlarm alerts me to this activity).

I could not find any documentation on this port or why this access is
necessary. Has anyone else observed this behavior?  Does anyone know what
it is for?

Thanks,

-alex
