rsync - Mar 2003 - BUG: read: Invalid argument

I'm attempting to mirror a directory tree from debian stable (rsync
version 2.5.6cvs) to a win2k box (cygwin, rsync version 2.5.5).  This
setup/command had previously worked for a bit (cygwin at rsync version
2.4.6 AFAICR), but yesterday it hung, so, finding some mail-list entries
about that, I upgraded cygwin, and now I get this:


C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe -vvvvvv -essh -ac --delete ik@boat:/usr/local/cvs
/cvs-bup/rsync
cmd=ssh machine=boat user=ik path=/usr/local/cvs
cmd=ssh -l ik boat rsync --server --sender -vvvvvvlogDtprc --delete .
/usr/local/cvs
opening connection using ssh -l ik boat rsync --server --sender -vvvvvvlogDtprc
--delete . /usr/local/cvs
read: Invalid argument
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)

To answer my own question, I'm seem to be getting this behaviour
because I was running the cygwin rsync command under cmd.exe, not
cygwin's own shell.  This works from cmd.exe:

   echo rsync -vv -essh -ac --delete ik@boat:/usr/local/cvs
/cygdrive/c/cvs-bup/rsync | bash --login


The bash --login option is needed.
