We found, that in Google Desktop v5.8 the additional preloading of DLLs into any app's memory corrupted cygrunsrv (probably at fork()). Stopping GD and renaming the regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \Windows\AppInit_DLLs was enough to make cygrunsrv/sshd running - no deinstallation/reboot was necessary. This was exactly what I've done this time - even I now run GD v5.9, which operated fine with cygrunsrv/sshd until I updated to CYGWIN v1.7.1. Additionally I found a problem with /var/empty permissions when using SSH privilege separation (also worked before). Even when I chmod 711 /var/empty, create a 'root' user and chown root:root /var/empty I get '/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable'. I entertain suspicion that there happened something stupid with the filesystem permissions for processes running as SYSTEM and/or background process...
