50% of xterms do not appear on screen.

Hi,

To start off with I have been using Cygwin for years and I must
aplaude all of the dev team for the great work they do. Unfortunatly I
have hit a snag which I really puzzeling me.

I normally start an Xwin.exe server at startup. This works fine and
the process runs. The I start xterm.exe processes using the attached
script. Now about half the xterm that I start do not seem to hook into
the Xwin server the other half hook fine and show me an xterm screen.
It's just completely random and I cannot figure for the life of me
what is stopping these hooks.

Here is the output of Xwin.exe:
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

So we do the only thing that windows is really good at. Uninstall
reboot and reinstall. No dice… Same problems. If I look at the taskmgr
then I have about 40 xterms of which only 20 or so are on the screen.
If I kill the X server then it only tells me that 20 clients are
connected.

Start xterm script:
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin
SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%
SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt
SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

REM Main programming Window
C:\cygwin\bin\run C:\cygwin\bin\xterm -cr red -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar
-ms red -fg white -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash

Anyone have any clue on how to solve this?
