There have been reports of rsync hanging at the end of the transfer
under cygwin, so I can only guess that Ctrl-C is killing the hung rsync
and allowing the other processes to finish.

I have seen one other report of a problem with the -z (--compress)
handling, but since I have no failure case to test, I cannot determine
if this is something to fix in the code or a transfer failure of some
kind.  Obviously, turning off -z will avoid this problem by avoiding
compression (you could turn compression on in the ssh that is doing the
port-forwarding to compensate).
