1.5.24 only asks the PDC and fails if it's unable to connect to it.
Try a developer snapshot.  The function to contact the logon server
has been changed in CVS HEAD to use the newer DsGetDcNameA function
instead of the old NetGetDCName.  Only on NT4 Cygwin falls back to
NetGetDCName/NetGetAnyDCName.
