rsync - Dec 2009 - rsync hangs on big transfer Debian 5.0.3 pulling from WinXP SP3/ Cygwin 1.5.25

Debian Users, Cygwin, & Rsync:

I'm having trouble with rsync invoked on Debian 5.0.3 pulling files from
Windows XP SP3/ Cygwin 1.5.25.  I posted to the Debian User and Cygwin
mailing lists [1] and thought I was done two days ago, but I wasn't --
after several hours of use of the Windows machine, rsync would again
hang on Debian.


To summarize, rsync pulls in perhaps 1,000 files from C:\Documents and
Settings, and then hangs indefinitely.


Adding the --timeout parameter seemed to fix the problem last night, but
it's back again tonight.


I've tried adding ten levels of verboseness to rsync (-vvvvvvvvvv), but
no additional information is produced beyond three (-vvv).  I don't see
any clues in /var/log on either machine.  Are there any other means for
giving visibility to what's going on, other than compiling a debugging
version, running rsync in a debugger, etc.?


A new cygcheck.txt and console session are attached.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David

rsync:

I received three copies of my message from each of three lists.  If
everyone else receives three copies, I apologize for the extraneous
copies.  :-(


Does anybody know why, and how to prevent such?


TIA,

David

If this is not a daemon connection, then it's probably the cygwin
pipe-hang bug.  I have heard that a more modern cygwin (such as 1.7)
has this fixed.
