After the recent update from openSSH and rerunning ssh-host-config sshd
refuses to start in Win XP.

The service event viewer states:
...
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to
use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support
for details. The following information is part of the event: sshd: PID
6192: `sshd' service stopped, exit status: 127.

And the command line attempt reports:
$ cygrunsrv --start sshd
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.


I am running CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.7.0(0.186/5/3).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
-- Bernd
