Ok, I've tracked it down to these two changes:
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q4/msg00162.html> and
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q4/msg00166.html>.  Commenting out
the if test in the beginning of set_console_state_for_spawn() allows the
sshd server to start successfully *and* show the output of a command.

Is real_path.iscygexec() the right test for noncygwin_process?  It looks
reversed...
