Thanks to both of you for the tips. After adding the -ddd option in invoking sshd in the ssh-host-config, I was able to see this error message from the log:
17 [main] sshd 42180 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0x24500 0..0x2452E0, done 0, windows pid 42200, Win32 error 487 Does this look familiar? Do you have any suggestions?
