SFTP with a key pair fails, SSH works fine


I've struggled with this for weeks. I'm using Cygwin v1.7.5 or v1.7.7 and see the same behavior. SSH with or
without a key pair will work flawlessly every time. SFTP with a password will work fine, but SFTP with a key
pair will fail every time. The server thinks the publickey is accepted and then calls the SFTP subsystem... but it
will disconnect a few seconds later. sftp-server.exe has the privileged server and domain users in the NTFS
security and the privilege server has modify rights. It really looks like it should be working. Any ideas?

Here is the debug code from the client when attempting to SFTP with a key pair:
