As an adaptation of your own command:

Try:

  cygrunsrv -I sshd_test -p /usr/bin/strace.exe -a '-o /var/tmp/sshd_strace /usr/sbin/sshd.exe -ddd' -e CYGWIN="$CYGWIN"

Won't help you much, though, as sshd seems to hog all the CPU when run
under strace...

Don't know what's special about your setup, but I was able to reproduce
this on my laptop with a 12/22 self-built DLL -- I'll see what I can do to
debug this (no promises, though)...
