I had not encountered this hang until today.  The backtrace implicated
a problem in the wait_for_receiver() routine, and I figured out that
every now and then the io_flush() call could end up reading the last
available message from the receiver, giving the read_msg_fd() call
nothing to read (causing a deadlock).

I checked in a fix for this and released a new "nightly" tar file.
Thanks for your help in testing rsync!
