I hope this won't end up as a double post. I posted it with attachments, but
didn't see it come through nor bounce. So here goes again:

You're right, there's a high noise-ratio in
'open-source-tech-helpdesk-lists' :) I'm sorry if I sounded somewhat
ungrateful earlier, but that was the frustration creeping through. *group
hug* :P

Did now ... (*silent void*) ... nothing.

Yeah, well... as I don't know what else to do, I attached it anyway. I put a
tty and a notty version in the zip.

EDIT: I put them on a url: http://www.kalders.be/cygwin/id.tty.txt and
http://www.kalders.be/cygwin/id.notty.txt so I'm sure this mail gets trough.

I have some more information that might or might not be helpful. The OpenSSH
installation that worked before on this server, used cygwin1.dll v1.5.4
(currently, I'm using 1.5.18). I noticed that one uses SharedMemoryVersion
3, while the current ones use version 4. I'm thinking: console > stream >
memory > issues ? Just a thought. It might not be  relevant, but I find it
odd that googling on that SharedMemoryVersion barely  gives some hits.

In retrospective, I'm considering rolling back to that 1.5.4 version. This
has been occupying me all week, just to get an up-to-date ssh server. I'll
keep you posted on my course of actions anyway.

Igor
