> Have you tried VS 2012?   Have you checked with MS about this?

I  can't use VS 2012 for now, because none of the 4 Windows build machines I
use are running Windows 7 or newer.  I suppose that if this drags out, that
may become my only option.

As far as checking with MS, I have not.  My best guess, since all 4 machines 
received
the same upgrade to VS 2010 SP1, was that something had changed in the way
authentication was handled for the pdb database between VS 2008 and VS 2010 SP1
(actually, the problem seemed to occur between VS 2010 and VS 2010 SP1, but that
could be because the machine wasn't rebooted, etc)
and that was incompatible with a change that occurred in CYGWIN somewhere
between 1.7.5 and 1.7.20.

I've since tried the following:
- running ssh-host-config on (a) and rebooting, with no effect
- completely removing CYGWIN and all traces of sshd 
(http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Uninstalling_Cygwin) and reinstalling on (a), 
with no effect
- completely removing VS 2010 and all related packages (I think), and trying to 
build using the untouched version of VS 2008 I had previously been using, and 
now building debug across CYGWIN/ssh/pub key with VS 2008 fails as well
