After a bit more research on the problem, I found a discussion thread on
the web discussing a similar problem from 2006. The difference is that
the thread discusses scp connections dropping immediately after
non-administrator authentication.
http://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3782
A response to a thread from March of this year indicates that copying
all of the DLL files from cygwin\usr\bin to cygwin\usr\sbin as a
workaround. I've copied the DLL files on my server per the workaround
and now non-administrator users are able to use sftp.
I've attached a copy of cygcheck.out from the server where this is
happening.
