I have seen similar issues with rsync pulling from a Cygwin box to a
Cygwin box when there are many files involved.  It will hang early on
while creating the file list.  I have never seen this issue pulling from a
*nix box to a Cygwin box.

I do not have any input yet with respect to the socketpair vs pipe change.

This is somewhere on my list to look into, but it does not have much of a
priority.  IIRC, it may have had something to do with Cygwin select always
returning writable for pipes that caused a deadlock?
