I concur.

To help googlers i have changed the subject and include this
text:

	The rsync cygwin hang bug appears to be fixed.
	Users experiencing rsync hangs when on cygwin should
	run the cygwin dll version 1.5.6-1 or greater.  This
	will avoid the problem variously as rsync process
	never dies or rsync does not complete, rsync does
	not exit, and the ones previously mentioned.

If those having web pages related to rsync on cygwin link to
a mail archive of this message that will also help raise
it's profile in google and other search engines.
