Cygwin Rsync 2.5.6 over SSH hangs on Win2k->Win2k

[Tillman, James]

Last week, I sent this msg:

> The sleep(1) mod didn't work for me. I had a hung process within an hour 
> (processes run every 5 minutes). I'm going to try applying Anthony
Heading's 
> patch, which was posted earlier this morning (Subject: PATCH/RFC: Another

I just wanted to say that Anthony's patch worked perfectly for me (so far) 
and my current crisis is averted.  I'm closely watching the running system.
I 
want to thank everyone who provided assistance.  

This is yet another example I can use to point out the benefits of open
source 
software to any stalwarts in my organization.  I received real help with my 
problem in less than 6 hours after my original email, and I had rsync
recompiled 
and deployed less than an hour after I decided to use Anthony's patch.
Thanks 
so much.
