If this theory were true, "echo -ne 'aa\rb' | gawk '{print $0}'" would
hang. It doesn't for me, even with textmode pipes...
Try saving the output of rsync to file and running gawk over that
separately... Also, if gawk really hangs, you can run it under strace to
see exactly what it was doing up to the hang (but please don't post the
strace output unless you're asked to do so by Corinna or CGF).
HTH,
Igor
