This is exactly as it should be -- the receiving system forks a separate
generator process.


My guess as to what is wrong is that you've encountered some kind of a
cygwin bug.  I'd suggest removing inetd from the equation as a first
step (i.e. run "rsync --daemon" directly and let it handle the incoming
connections).  If the processes are still hanging around when they
shouldn't be, you'll need to get some information on what the processes
are doing at that point.  There are some debugging ideas on the issues
page of the rsync web site that you can try.
