rsync/cwgwin hangs during transfers

[Alan C. Bonnici]

Thanks Steve. Version 1.5 of cygwin has worked flawlessly for me for years.
That could be a solution as well (downgrade).

pipes in cygwin are unreliable, its not an rsync issue its a well known
cygwin issue.

You have two choices:
1. don't use cygwin
2. use daemon mode, which avoids piping though ssh hence the main cause
of the pipe issue, although reduces security.
