Rsync hangs on "No space left on device" on the server side

[Touretsky, Gregory]

Hi,

  We're replicating data over WAN using rsync over hpn-ssh.
In case of destination disk full, rsync on the server side exits with
                rsync: close failed on <path> : No space left on device (28)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(731)
However, parent sshd process doesn't recognize it and remains running - keeping rsync on the source side waiting until ssh session timeout expires.
Looks like this issue was reported few times in the past (link1<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505108>, link2<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=158260>)

Is there any known resolution?
We're using rsync 3.0.6

Regards,
   Gregory
