internet required?

Yes, it probably is a Zone Alarm problem.  Anything that effects the IP 
stack on Windows can potentially cause problems and/or slow downs in the 
performance of Cygwin/X.  Have you tried disabling Zone Alarm?

It is interesting that Zone Alarm is having trouble distinquishing 
between connections to the local machine (127.0.0.1) vs. the actual 
internet (!127.0.0.1).
