-3 is the latest and correct one. It contains two Cygwin specific
fixes which have become part of the official sources in the meantime.

Would you mind to try it using the latest official Cygwin
version (1.3.1)? I suspect what you see is a Win 9x/ME issue
which is related to using anonymous pipes. It's one of the
bugs which Microsoft has given up to fix. Upgrading to
NT/W2K helps ;-) Another try is to download the openssh
sources and compile them without setting USE_PIPES in
define.h as it's done in the Cygwin release version due
to some problems with socketpairs. This error might be
resolved in 1.3.1 but I have to check that...
