The above looks like a likely culprit. Make sure the last instance is 
really gone before starting a new one. Closing xterm doesn't shut down 
the server, and if you just want a new xterm use the Cygwin-X shortcuts 
or right click the 'X' in the system tray and find it in the 
'Applications' list of the menu that pops up.

Good luck,
Ryan
