rsync - Jan 2005 - Errors during transfer

I am using rsync w/ CYGWIN to copy files from an NT
server to a Freebsd 5.3 server running runsy-  latest
2.6.3 BSD patch to latest RELEND_5_3.

I am moving very large 2gb files/.  An older version
exists at the destination so it is only xferring
diffs.

I am using putty with port forwarding to handoff to
rsync as localhost:873.  I can transfer files but
occaissionally two erros occur and I have never
successfully xferred all file in one shot.

1.  Rsync seems to hang.  If I active the winodw it is
running in a and press control-c it reactivates.  This
happens on the client running winodws.

2.  The transfer abruptly stops in the middle and
returns the following error:

"inflate token returned -5"

Any ideas how I can stabilize this process?

TIA

There have been reports of rsync hanging at the end of the transfer
under cygwin, so I can only guess that Ctrl-C is killing the hung rsync
and allowing the other processes to finish.

I have seen one other report of a problem with the -z (--compress)
handling, but since I have no failure case to test, I cannot determine
if this is something to fix in the code or a transfer failure of some
kind.  Obviously, turning off -z will avoid this problem by avoiding
compression (you could turn compression on in the ssh that is doing the
port-forwarding to compensate).
