XWin hangs upon text selection [error: clipboard does not contain CF_TEXT nor CF_UNICODETEXT]

[Saurabh Srivastava]

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Launch Cygwin using the desktop icon created by
setup.exe [C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /c
C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat]

2.) Start XWin by typing "startxwin.sh" in the Cygwin
window. This starts the Xwin and brings up an xterm
running bash.

3.)On the xterm, select and paste the prompt onto the
command line. It works the first time. Now select the
text again. XWin hangs.

I've attached the contents of the following files in
this email:
1.) cygcheck.out
2.) C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
3.) /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
4.) /tmp/XWin.log

Hope this helps.
