Regardless of this data point, if you are having this type of problem
there is something wrong with either your Windows installation, the
driver for your network card, or your computer.
This isn't a Cygwin problem. A user mode program like rsync should not
be able to cause this type of behavior. If it could, that's an exploit
just waiting to happen.
