Ouch, that may be the reason.  I have to check that but your passwd
and group files are

1) Not required anymore, see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.htm,
   and

2) *iff* they are there, there's good reason to have them in a good
   working shape.

Yes, indeed.  Ssh ignores $HOME and it does so as long as it exists.
Ssh uses the pw_dir field from your passwd entry and that in turn is
determined by /etc/passwd if it exists, or by /etc/nsswitch.conf.=20
See the extensive documentation starting at
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
The default homedir is /home/<USERNAME>.  There are a few knobs to
play with to change this setting, see
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-home

There's not much to sanitize usually, a few env variables you don't like
to publish, that's all.  Other than that, it might not be required
anymore to generate the strace at all.  Writing this mail is my last
action for today aswell, at least :)

Thanks for *your* help.  I expect there are still a few problems in that
code since not even a multi-month testphase finds all problems.
