I spoke too soon.  When I restored "UsePrivilegeSeparation yes" and 
restarted Windows, ssh connections failed again.  This time the client log 
was:

C:\Documents and Settings\rdhw>ssh -vv 127.0.0.1
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0

debug1: Connection established.

debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK

... and there it hung, for ever.  There were three sshd processes also 
doing nothing.  No errors appeared in the Application Event Log.
