The RSYNC application fails in close() on the pipe streams to and from
child processes created when rsync starts.
When running rsync.exe and cygwin1.dll from cygwin 1.5 within the 1.7
installation on the same system (WinXP pro),
the identical invocation completes without errors.
The problems appears to be a bug in the cygwin.dll
For example,
$ rsync -a /etc /test
produces the following messages:
rsync: Failed to dup/close: Socket operation on non-socket (108)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c(147) [receiver=3.0.5]
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at io.c(759) [sender=3.0.5]
Since there are several close() calls and a dup2() ORed in one statement
in pipe.c, so that the error message is not conclusively linked to a
single call, I separated them with this patch. The patch first prints
out the file descriptors for the streams to/from the child, to make sure
they are valid before we try to close() them, and then it tests the
result from close() after each call.

This patched version prints the following resulting messages and then
just hangs indefinitely:
$ ./rsync -a /etc /test
to_child_pipe[0] = 3
to_child_pipe[1] = 4
from_child_pipe[0] = 5
from_child_pipe[1] = 6
rsync: Failed to close(to-1): Socket operation on non-socket (108)
rsync: Failed to close(from-0): Socket operation on non-socket (108)
closing to-0
rsync: Failed to close(to-0): Socket operation on non-socket (108)
closing from-1
rsync: Failed to close(from-1): Socket operation on non-socket (108)
End of pipe.c, entering child_main()
Rsync is used in cygport to copy directories, so I can't actually build
any source code with stock cygport (I replaced the rsync with cp).
As I haven't found a prior trouble report, I am wondering whether this
happens only on my system, seems strange that no one has built source
code on Cygwin 1.7 without having the same trouble.
