I am seeing this too.  I tried pasting into several different
applications, in all cases it caused the app to hang and I had to kill
it using the task manager.  Cut and paste between normal Windows apps,
or pasting from Windows to XWin, is fine.

XWin.exe --version did not produce any output, however the Cygwin
setup program shows I am running XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 and
XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-2.  I had manually started xwinclip.exe after
the built-in clipboard support seemingly crashed.

It looks as though by running XWin.exe --version I overwrote the log
file, but when this problem happens again I will provide a log.  (It
might be that next time will also be with a separate xwinclip.exe
after the builtin clipboard support crashed.)
