rsync freezes on solaris

hi guys
 
We use rsync extensively in keeping the site resources in synch across redundant
infrastructure.
While attempting rsync for one of the boxes we find that the rsync process
simply sleeps. The situation remains the same even if we have sync very small
contents of the order of 4 KB. The same run with the -an flag runs without any
issues. We run rsync over ssh on solaris boxes.
To debug the situation we attached "truss" to the process on the
source as well as the destination.
 
We see the following output on the destination server.

The rsync process also terminates unexpectedly on the remote server and I
suspect thats what is causing the freeze to happen.
 
Any help in figuring out this issue will be greatly appreciated. Please let me
know if I have missed some information which would have further helped in
diagnosing the issue
 
Thanks for your time

There have been problems like this reported with the Sun
supplied version of ssh that have generally resolved by
using a home-built openssh instead.
