Any help appreciated.
The first thing anyone would notice is that 1.5.12 (and your OpenSSH/OpenSSL versions) are very old. The current Cygwin is 1.5.18 (going on 1.5.19), and OpenSSH is up to 4.2p1. This list cannot afford to support more than the current version of Cygwin and tools. If you can still reproduce your problem after upgrading to the latest versions of Cygwin and OpenSSH/OpenSSL, please report back to this list. FWIW, I regularly use just such a construct to reply to email -- I used it to reply to yours, and, as you can see, it <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#WJFFM>.
