SSHD error child_info_fork

[Tasslehoff Burrfoot <tasslehoff@burrfoot.it>]

Hi, I recently noticed a problem with sshd on one of my Windows 10 updated
to the recent 1803 update.
First of all I'm using cygwin x86 updated to the latest packages, during
sshd startup I have no errors in the Windows Event Log using services.msc
or using "cygrunsrv --start sshd", same launching sshd deamon from console.
I have no firewall blocking connections and the ssh client is connecting
from a debian host on lan on the same subnet (no networking issues).

When I try to connect to the cygwin sshd deamon I get this
error: ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer

Launching the sshd deamon all seems to start without problems, but when I
try to connect I get this error:
=====================
$ /usr/sbin/sshd -D
/etc/sshd_config line 102: Deprecated option UsePrivilegeSeparation

This is the same launching sshd with debug option

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks
