rsync - Jul 2003 - cygwin rsync hang under Windows Terminal Services session

Hi, though the list would be interested to know an issue we have just come
across.
 
We have found that rsync version 2.5.6 over ssh within a cygwin environment
run manually from either a command prompt or a cygwin prompt hangs every
time if we run it in a Windows Terminal Server session. It doesn't seem to
matter what the remote server is as we have experienced this when the remote
server is Win2K running cygwin and a native Linux. But it doesn't hang when
we run it from the Windows console or in a VNC session or via an ssh
terminal session. I assume this means the terminal environment set up by a
WTS session is somehow different and either cygwin or ssh or rsync is not
handling it. The environment we have tested this in is as follows;
 
Client
- Win2K SP2 and SP3
- cygserver (cygwin) 1.5, API version 1.3.22(0.78/3/1)-(1.0.0.2) 2003-03-18
09:20, Compiled on Mar 18 2003 (output from cygserver -v)
- rsync version 2.5.6 protocol version 26 (output from rsync --version)
- OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f (output from
ssh -V)
 
Server 1
- Red Hat 7.3
- rsync version 2.5.4 protocol version 26 (output from rsync --version)
- OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f (output from ssh
-V)
 
Server 2
- Win2k SP3
- cygserver (cygwin) 1.5, API version 1.3.22(0.78/3/1)-(1.0.0.2) 2003-03-18
09:20, Compiled on Mar 18 2003 (output from cygserver -v)
- rsync version 2.5.6 protocol version 26 (output from rsync --version)
- OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f (output from
ssh -V)

Care! Using cygserver like this is inappropriate. Cygserver is a
still-under-early-development very specific tool to provide additional
functionality to Cygwin. It is actually no longer installed by default under
current dev builds of 1.5.

The *correct* way to obtain cygwin1.dll version information is "uname
-rv".
