I apologise. Whilst in the past strace has wrong-footed me, and
somewhat this time (with different behaviour), as it turns out, I
should not have disparaged it.

The problem was all my own doing. I had a cygwin1.dll, and other dlls
in my home directory. I noticed this because when I cd'ed out of my
home directory, the sftp-server command would work.

Of course, once I'd moved the dlls out of the way, sftp-server came
good. And of course, my sftp issues have also cleared up.

I apologise for the noise. Thanks to Larry for humouring me, and to
the Cygwin community in general.
