    Hi. I just updated to 1.7 to see if it solved problems that I've
been struggling with for a while with rsync hanging randomly on
different files. I use rsync excessively, and on some systems it just
works and never hangs-- but on some it hangs all the time. I'm
transferring files via ssh; some say using rsync as a daemon helps, but
I'd rather use SSH so I don't have to worry about a wrapper for security
purposes...

Here's the command I use that hangs rsync quite regularly:

/usr/bin/rsync -rtvz --progress
build AT build:/cygdrive/c/pub/vpsm72/development/*
/cygdrive/d/mpsi/vpsm72/

This is running on a Vista x64 machine, attempting a transfer from a W2K
SP4 machine. Transfers from this machine work fine from other clients(I
have an XP VM for instance that never hangs when issuing the same exact
command).=20

Any thoughts? Most of the information online(list archives) about this
are back from 2005/2006.. Did people stop using rsync on cygwin due to
these problems, or is there a fix that I'm not aware of?

Thanks.
