Gerrit, I will try once more.
This time, though, all my software was in place, no service pack, nothing,
just Office.
Same spot, same readme file.
the mirror I was using was mirrors.rcn.net, which is the fastest one I found
have been using for two years now.

In a different posting it was said that it is the fontserver package,
this is a different package. How should we debug this problem without
correct information?
This is the first posting I see about this issue where I read a detailed
description, all the others I read (maybe I have not seen all of them)
were about some readme file, fontserver..., nothing useful.
I just reinstalled this xorg-x11-fscl package now, it works fine on NT4
AND it works fine on XP/SP2.
$ cygcheck -c xorg-x11-fscl
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
xorg-x11-fscl 6.8.1.0-2 OK
Why don't you send the output of cygcheck -srv as an attachment?
Maybe your mount table is broken? Maybe your XP/SP2 is broken?
Why are you not providing more information? You cannot expect that we
can fix a problem which we don't have, I cannot help debugging it
without even seeing the problem.
