That's a third-party packaging of extremely old versions of OpenSSH
and Cygwin.  It's not supplied or supported by the OpenSSH team.  It's
been reported to cause problems with current versions of Windows.  If
you have problems with it please contact the suppliers of the package.

I suggest installing a current version of Cygwin and its packaged
version of OpenSSH, which is more likely to be supportable.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
