Thanks. Unfortunately, rebaseall did not help. I also tried peflagsall and 
a reboot, but no change. Also, I do not run programs mentioned in the 
BLODA (Big List Of Dodgy Apps). And, when I temporally replace the present 
cygwin1.dll version 1.7.11 with an old version 1.7.9 copied from another 
non-updated installation, the sshd again can be started as service, i.e. 
the fork problem does not occur.

Any more ideas?
