The "--blocking-io" option fixed the problem.  Thanks to jw for the solution.
Thanks also to Wayne Davison for his response.

This is probably a [non]blocking io problem.  Rsync has
two options for that.  Try them.
        --blocking-io           use blocking IO for the remote shell
	--no-blocking-io        turn off --blocking-io

You also failed to say what platform and rsync version.
