Because of historical reasons, I have a number of Windows virtual

It appears to be impossible to start a 64-bit bash session from a 32-bit
session. However, it there is a way to do this, the rest of the post is
not relevant.
During the transition to 64-bit cygwin, I would like to start a 64-bit
sshd service on a second port (2222, perhaps). When the transition is
fully complete, I will remove the 32-bit sshd service.
If I use the ssh-host-config program, it goes through, but tells me that
"Sshd service is already installed" and does not create another service.
How do I create a second service to run 64-bit sshd?
Probably need to customize inetd as inetd-32/64 as well as sshd as sshd-32/64
and services, service names, and ports as ssh-32/64, cygsshd-32/64, and
3222/6422 or variations thereof?
