Ok, I've tracked it down to these two changes: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q4/msg00162.html> and <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q4/msg00166.html>. Commenting out the if test in the beginning of set_console_state_for_spawn() allows the sshd server to start successfully *and* show the output of a command. Is real_path.iscygexec() the right test for noncygwin_process? It looks reversed...
