Sorry to respond to my own post, but looking at source I realized that
/tmp/cygdaemo is created by cygserver (which I had run earlier as
"cygserver --help" to see what it was all about).

The port 1052 doesn't appear to be that significant.  Running it again it
bound to a different port.  Killing it results in the dangling socket
which is accessed by pretty much every command to see if cygserver is
running/listening.

Busy reading up on cygserver now.  There are several threads in cygwin and
cygwin-developers on this new feature.
