Thanks Marco, David and Brian for your responses.

After the diagnostic steps described below, suggested by you, I ran the setup program and told it to reinstall cygwin, cygwin-base, and adwaita-icon-theme.  ssh and man are working again.

I'm a little puzzled how I got in this state, although it's possible I ran setup while I had a terminal open.  And I wonder why the setup program didn't reinstall the damaged packages itself, or at least complain about them (though there were some complaints--see last paragraph below).

Running strace ssh produced a popup 
   "The procedure entry point __memcpy_chk could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll"
and cygcheck's output included

Those were the only 2 Incomplete packages.

Finally, I've been getting errors from the post-installation that some packages were not setup, but since they all seemed to be graphical and I don't have cygwin/X installed I thought they were harmless.  I guess they weren't. After the package reinstallation I get no such errors.
