I've observed that situation as well today.  Logging in using sshd results
in full cpu usage of sshd for about 5 seconds.  After logging out it jumps
to 100% again and remains this way until killing sshd.  

Looking into the code there's something I don't understand:

cygthread::exit_thread() calls ExitThread(0).  The thread which calls
exit_thread() - fhandler_tty.cc, process_output() - is a cygthread
function, too.  Shouldn't exit_thread() actually call SuspendThread(0)
instead?

OTOH, process_output() tries to exit itself:

fhandler_tty_master::init ()
  output_thread = new cygthread (process_output, NULL, "ttyout");

process_output ()
  cygthread *t = tty_master->output_thread;
  ...
  t->exit_thread ();

so shouldn't it match the situation better just to call `return 0;'
instead of exit_thread() here?  That would allow to eliminate
cygthread::exit_thread() completely.

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem.  I'm still debugging.
