Rsync-Cygwin related hang problem is (the biggest) known problem of
rsync on cygwin, right now.
It *seems* to be a problem with cygwin signal handling but it would be
strange that no other cygwin app has this problem.
There are some specific patches proposed by some people on this mailing
list, but the ones I tried, I found no big improvement in.
In the near future I'll hopefully find time to dedicate one (or more)
"full days" to solve this problem, as I recently passed an university
exam...
