I'd recommend starting the server with debugging enabled and looking
at the output there.  It's usually more instructive.  To do this, I'd
recommend stopping your current sshd server, copying
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config, and then modifying the copy to install a new
server (with a new name) with the added "-d -d -d" (on the cygrunsrv line).
Running that will install the debug-enabled sshd server.  Starting that
server and trying to log in as you describe will generate some log info for
you.  I'd recommend reading through the sshd man page if you have questions
about the options available for this.  Also, be aware that you'll need to
restart the debug server each time you finish a session.
