Maybe executing cygnsrv.exe (or something like that) will show you what's
hapenning inside it's process. Or you could run it from command prompt:
c:\cygwin\usr\sbin\rshd.exe
This execution showed me why my sshd service was stopping (something about
permissions on a file).
Maybe Service DataBase is locked is not refreshing succesfully(did you
tried rebooting?), it messed me last week.
I know it's not a real answer but I hope this guides you.
rgrds,
