Orphaned rsync process on remote machine?

All,
Sometimes when I do an rsync, it times out and leaves on orphaned
process on the remote machine. I am running rsync over ssh using
public key authentication. I synchronize about twenty-five machines,
and this problem only appears on one of them. It worked until
recently on this machine. I don't know what changed or what is
different.
I run rsync with a command line like this (only the names have been
changed to protect the innocent) :-):
>aaaaaa:msarrel /u/cas/msarrel 105> /usr/local/bin/rsync --verbose
>--checksum --recursive --copy-unsafe-links --times --rsh=ssh
>--rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --delete --timeout=90
>--ignore-times --compress /lll/mmmmmmmmm/
>bbbbbbb at cccccccc.dddddd.eee.ffff.ggg:/hhhh/iii/jjjjj/kkkkkkkkk
>building file list ... done
>io timeout after 90 seconds - exiting
>rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(103)
>aaaaaa:msarrel /u/cas/msarrel 106>
I tried changing the timeout to be 300 seconds, but got the same
result. To this particular machine, the packets actually take a
fairly tortured route. They go from the source, out through a
firewall, into a VPN tunnel, across the Internet, in through another
firewall, out of the VPN tunnel, over the river, through the woods,
to grandmother's house and finally to the destination machine.
However, there is a second machine at the same site that works with
the same tortured route.
The orphaned process on the remote machine looks like this:
> 8 R msarrel 12023 12017 99 99 20 739adbf0 471
>01:25:32 ? 2:44 /usr/local/bin/rsync --server
> 8 S msarrel 12017 1 0 40 20 739a8740 325 739e6d46
>01:25:32 ? 0:00 tcsh -c /usr/local/bin/rsync
I'm using the following version of rsync:
