Hi All...
I have a testcase. It uses unison-2.9.1.exe available from http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/home.html
(from here go to unison, downloads, current stable version, and select unison.win32-gtkui.exe)
On a machine with XP, SP2, this test hangs and with XP or 2000 it executes to completion.
The recipie is as follows (assuming you have openssh client and server set up):
download unison
rename the executable to unison.exe and place it somewhere on your PATH.
in a cmd (not bash) shell type
unison C:/ ssh://localhost/C:/ -testserver -rshargs "-v -v -v"
thats it. Unison will use the ssh client to run a copy of itself and talk to it for the test. This does not work from a bash shell...never has. But...you can run it from strace cmd inside a bash shell to get strace output. Up until XP SP2 and the latest cygwin, I have been using it this way for years without a hitch.
On XP SP2 the results are 100% repeatable. It hangs in the same place every time.
I have run sshd in debug mode and found nothing unusual there.
It appears to be a client problem. An XP SP2 server is fine, but the XP SP2 client (with the latest cygwin1.dll or snapshots I tried) hangs.
Thanks,
...Karl

Hi All...
What can I do that would be usefull? I'm not sure how to tell where things are hanging, because unison-2.9.1 is a win32 program that invokes a cygwin ssh client.
I did confirm that it is a ssh client side issue. That is, an XP SP2 machine is fine as the server, but not as the client.
If I turn on the -v -v -v in ssh, the last thing I get is from a channel_input_window_adjust call.

No. I don't see any change in Cygwin between 1.5.10 and 1.5.11 which could result in a new behaviour on sockets. The strace is useless.
