rsync - Dec 2003 - Does rsync/cygwin hanging problem be solved?

I am new user  of rsync.
 I notice rsync will hang under cygwin when transfering files
occasionally, then I see the mail archieve discussing this problem at
http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg08726.html
 Does this bugs has been fixed?
 Anyone can give me an answer? thanks.

Best Regards

The rsync-on-cygwin hang problem looks like it will be fixed in the next
cygwin release by their fixing a bug in cygwin's signal handling.  In
the meantime, there is a cygwin-specific version that has a patch that
tries to kludge around the problem.  Others who actually use the cygwin
version will have to fill in the details for you, as I don't know them.

There is a version at http://itefix.no/cwrsync/ that does work. (The fix is in 
the cygwin1.dll in this package, not in rsync which afair is standard 2.5.7 
version.)
