timeout and process cleanup bugs 2.4.7pre1+

[tim.conway at philips.com]

I have written an application in perl, to run multiple rsyncs, retrying 
those which fail.
I have started getting this error on very large modules since i moved to 
the latest CVS version.

The script checks exit status and retries, ordinarily.
However, when i get THIS error, the rsync process seems to be killing the 
perl process.  I think it's a bug in the part of the code that cleans up 
the spawned processes.
Here's another example, which shows that the timeout as total transfer 
time but is still active.  It also ends by killing its calling process. 
The error looks different, though, but it's on a local nfs-to-nfs, instead 
of rsyncd-to-nfs.

Any ideas?  I can try to track the killing and timeout logic, if there's 
not already a fix out there that was just accidentally dropped.
