Subject:	rsh no longer works with rsync as of 1.5.9

Hi,

I have been using rsync via rsh (-e "rsh")   for our general distributions
for a for all of our windows and Linux machines ( 2000 of them) .   on
Upgrading from cygwin1.5.5 to 1.5.9,  Rsync could no longer use rsh to
rsync.

I get : "rsh : unknown option -- server"
I down graded the rsync2.6.0 from the cyg1.5.9 install  to the 2.5.6 version
from the cyg1.5.5 version and got the same problem.  I restored the rsync to
2.6.0 and copied the rsh.exe from the inetutils-1.3.2-25 from the cyg1.5.5
install and rsync started working again.

Is there a known bug or known workaround for using the most recent version
of rsh ( from 1.3.2-26)?
thanks.
Bruce Dobrin

example: rsync -rluzv -e "rsh" --timeout=100 --size-only
matilda:/c/dist_and_install_files/dist/sysadm_general/ /c/

rsh : unknown option -- server
