rsync - Jun 2002 - rsync hanging?

Hi there,
I've been using rsync for a while to synchronize directories between my
windows XP laptop and a redhat linux workstation.  However, starting
yesterday, rsync started hanging.  From what I can tell, rsync completes the
transfer and then just hangs rather than exiting.  Here are the details:

On the client machine (Windows XP):
rsync version: 2.5.5, protocol version 26
ssh version: OpenSSH_3.3 (I generated a rsa1 key using ssh-keygen, no
passphrase)
script: my script is a bash script that has a number of commands of the
form:
rsync -t -p --links --safe-links --rsh=ssh -u -r
diwan@munge.cs.colorado.edu:papers .
(where munge is the redhat linux machine).

On the server machine (Redhat Linux):
rsync version: 2.5.5, protocol version 26 (i.e., same as client)
ssh version: OpenSSH_3.1p1

I have no idea what changed to cause it to start breaking yesterday.  I did
run a cygwin install again in order to install a new tool, but that
shouldn't have changed rsync/ssh.  TO make sure, I reinstalled all of cygwin
with the above mentioned versions and that did not do the trick.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Two important things have changed in Cygwin in the last day or so that
may affect you: cygwin1.dll (1.3.10 -> 1.3.11-3) and OpenSSH (3.1 ->
3.3).  Try reverting either or both to previous versions.
