Can you elaborate on this?  I've looked at the documentation for 
cygserver and can't see why it would be relevant.  I confess, however, 
that I didn't understand much of the documentation beyond the first 
paragraph.  The latter says:

   Cygserver is a program which is designed to run as a background service.
   It provides Cygwin applications with services which require security
   arbitration or which need to persist while no other cygwin application
   is running.

Does emacs require such services?
