That's what I suspected, but I wonder where the string was pulled from?

Manager itself?

$ ls -l /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Manager  Users      103424 Sep  4 20:18 
/usr/sbin/cygserver.exe*

..or..

Manager AT kiraly ~
$ ls -ln /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 500      545        103424 Sep  4 20:18

[2] 688
[1]   Done                    /usr/sbin/cygserver
