I left out a few details that might help:

1. The hung processes come in 2's.  So it's either 2 or 4 or 6, etc.  I read
somewhere about rsync using one process for sending and a second process for
receiving, so perhaps that why the hangs come in pairs.

2. I tried attaching to the processes with strace, but received no output at
all.  It might be that I didn't know what I was doing.  I used this
invocation on each one:

strace -p 123  (where 123 is the process id)
