Try writing a short startup script something like the following, and use
this instead of
using dx script.

for example

cd /usr/local/dx/bin
touch dx.src
vi dx.src
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
export PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/dx/bin/:$PATH
csh /usr/local/dx/bin/dxworkers

Save it
then chmod 755 dx.src

and try executing it to start DX.  See what happen let me know.  I remeber
dx (default script) used to give errors with Cygwin B20.1 therefore I was
providing a short startup script dx.src.

It seems to be having problems with  socket binding.  I am not sure what
is going on your machine or Cygwin Environment.  I just tested OpenDX 4.1.1
for Cygwin with Cygwin 1.1.4 and Exceed 6.2, and also my XFree86 server.
It comes up just fine.  I used the default dx script.  I opened a bash
shell, then did the following

cd /usr/local/dx/bin
export DISPLAy=127.0.0.1:0.0
sh dx

The startupui came up without any errors.

Then I QUIT startupui and typed

sh dx -uionly&

The Editor came up without any problems or errors.

Looks like you have problems with your Cygwin installation or somethihg else
wrong
with your Cygwin and/or DX setup.
