I've cc'ed cygwin@cygwin.com because I've apparently identified a problem
with Cygwin's ssh.

All right, that identified the problem:

Ben@cvs.xemacs.org's password:
The problem is that /home/Ben is the wrong (and nonexistent, until created
by ssh) directory. My home directory is /ben. For some reason, this
version of ssh is ignoring $HOME (despite its documentation) and arbitrarily
looking in /home/$USERNAME. A symlink fixed the problem; but any
suggestions as to what is going on here?
