Cygwin/x doesn't work on windows 8

Hi all,

I apologize if this bug is already known.
I have two fresh windows 8 machines. Looks like cygwin/x doesn't work
on either of them with similar symptoms.
The installation went fine. "xwin" command seems to work as expected.
But when I try to right click on X icon in tray -> Applications ->
xterm (or emacs/xload) - nothing happens. In the terminal I'm getting:
>
>       0 [main] xwin 1880 child_info_fork::abort: C:\cygwin\bin\cygXdmcp-6.dll: Loaded to different address: parent(0x340000) != child(0x2C0000)
> fork() to run command failed

I attach my cygcheck and xwin log files. Please let me know if any
additional information is needed.

Thanks!
Tony
