tcsh is the default shell on FreeBSD which is the "recieving"
end in this test yes but I'm a little confused how the shell
could effect the results of rsync? FreeBSD to FreeBSD for FreeBSD
to Windows SFU doesnt have this issue so something specific to
tcsh on cygwin?

An example of this failure is:
[log]
rsync -av --progress cygwin1:/testdir/ /testdir/
receiving file list ...
1705 files to consider
created directory testdir
/
bf2_w32ded.exe
           0   0%    0.00kB/s    0:00:00
***Hung here***
^CKilled by signal 2.0.00kB/s    0:00:00
rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(242) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at rsync.c(242) [generator]
[/log]

Even though the destination has now been terminated the
rsync process on the cygwin source box is still sitting
there. Checking on the cygwin box no shell is actually
running.

Interestingly if I try to get a thread dump using
sysinternals process explorer the rsync process goes
mad using all available cpu.
