Success.  I can reproduce the issue.  I also could reproduce it now on
my other XP SP3 system.  It turned out that it depends on the account
under which the sshd service is started.  Originally I started sshd
under my cyg_server account, just like on any other system.  I changed
that back to the default(*) SYSTEM account and, voila, suddenly I get
the `permission denied' problem.  I still have to debug it, though.
