I'm not sure what might be going on here to crash the X server.  Do other apps 
run okay?  I tried it on my cygwin-X and didn't have that issue.  I used the -Y 
option on ssh when logging into the remote machine where IDV is installed.  The 
only other option I can think of is to update cygwin, but that seems like 
overkill if it worked in the past.
