Gee, and I thought I was the only one with this problem. :->

I think the offending line(s) of code is in sshd.c 

------------------------------------------------------
#ifndef CRAY
                        /* Cray xauth cannot take host/unix:0 as
displayname *
                        fprintf(f, "add %.*s/unix%s %s %s\n",
                                cp - display, display, cp, auth_proto,
                                auth_data); */
#endif                             
-------------------------------------------------------

The #ifndef... could probably be changed to:

#if !defined(CRAY) && !defined(__CYGWIN32__)
...
#endif


I just commented it out and my problem went away. It also had the side
effect of fixing a client connection timeout problem I was having too,
but that's another story.
