xserver failing on new install - fatal error on xcb connection

I recently installed a fresh copy of cygwin64 on a new Windows 10 box. xserver starts but randomly fails after a few minutes with: waiting for X server to shut down winClipboardProc - winClipboardFlushWindowsMessageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Fata

bash very slow in cygwin 1.7.16-1 Win7/64 bit

rsync 1.7.1 stuck

Another rsync problem since the 1.7.1 upgrade (from 1.5) -- an rsync job just gets stuck a few bytes into a file. ctrl-c doesn't work, but I can kill it with pskill. If I keep running the rsync it gets a little further each time. Here's the stranger part: if I jump a few directories in, it see
