XWin hangs on opening xterms

[Norbert Harendt <N dot Harendt at ib-eckerl dot de>]

Hello,

I updated cygwin a few days ago, now my xwindow-remote sessions are often
hanging and are consuming a lot of cpu-power. In detail:

I am running a W2K-machine with 2 cpus and connect to a linux-X-server via 
cygwins 
   XWin -query 192.168.1.100 -once
in order to get the logon-screen of the linux-server. Before last days update
all was performing very will (but now i don't know which version that was)

Now i get the following output:

******************************************************************************
$ XWin -query 192.168.1.100 -once
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project

XWin was started with the following command line:

XWin -query 192.168.1.100 -once

_XSERVTransmkdir: Mode of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to 0777

  Options = "(null)"
******************************************************************************

At this point the Cygin/X-windows hangs.
Opening the windows taskmanager i killed the second running instance of 
   XWin.exe and get the output

******************************************************************************
     40 [main] XWin 804 fork_parent: child 1524 died waiting for dll loading
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
(--) 3 mouse buttons found
winPointerWarpCursor - Discarding first warp: 637 499
winProcEstablishConnection - Hello
winProcEstablishConnection - Clipboard is not enabled, returning.
winProcQueryTree - Clipboard is not enabled, returning.
******************************************************************************

but than the logon screen of the linuxserver appears in the Cygwin/X-Window 
and i am able to login. The initialisation of the X-desktop is done as usual.
But every time i open an xterm, the Cygwin/X-Window hangs again. Again killing
the second XWin.exe brings Cygwin/X-Window back to life, producing an output 
similar to the following

******************************************************************************
332281787 [main] XWin 804 fork_parent: child 1476 died waiting for dll loading
******************************************************************************


Can anybody tell me, what is happening ????

Thanks in advance
   Norbert
