Sound makes cygwin/xfree86 lock up

[Tom Bozack]

I'm using cygwin/Xfree86 to login to a KDE session on a Linux host using 
XDMCP.  Everything works fine until the client requests a service that 
the server can't provide such as sound.  When that happens the server 
locks up and becomes unresponsive.  The only way to recover is to 
restart the cygwin/XFree86 server and login again to the nost compter. 
Needless to say this is very frustrating.

Does anyone know of a way to prevent this from happening other than not 
do anything that requests sound support (or any other service that 
cygwin?XFree86 can't provide)?

Thanks,
Tom
