Add the word "export" to the registry entry.

Did you try using "default" as I suggested?  What I mean is that you
should replace "c:\\cygwin\\usr\\sbin\\in.telnetd.exe" with "default".

This will cause the settings to be the default for all cygwin programs.

If you want to go to the effort of tracking down the change in the code
where something changed, then that would be useful.  Otherwise, I doubt
that anyone is going to smack their head and say "Aha! 1.3.9 to 1.3.10!
Of course!" 1.3.10 was released in February.  1.3.9 was released in
January.  My memory of specific changes does not extend back that far.

I suspect that either adding "export" to the list of options to the
inetd registry key or using "default" will solve your problem but you
seem insistent on extending this dance.  I'm trying to help but if you
don't want to try the things that I'm suggesting then I will just stop
suggesting.
