rsync 2.5.6 still hangs

[Martin Schröder]

Hi,
we have two Linux systems (2.4.21 and 2.2.19) with rsync 2.5.6
The 2.4.21 system does backups via cron by rsync to the 2.2.19
system. 

Via cron rsync always exits with (it is called with --timeout=60)
----------
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(103)
----------

Or with -vvvv
----------
make_file(6,tex/alt/12.3/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/omxcmex.fd)
io timeout after 60 seconds - exiting
_exit_cleanup(code=30, file=io.c, line=103): entered
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(103)
_exit_cleanup(code=30, file=io.c, line=103): about to call exit(30)
----------

The file varies.

Interestingly this does not happen when rsync is called
interactively. %-{

Any idea how to avoid this?

Thanks in advance
        Martin
