Hello,

the following bug seems to have been introduced recently:
A command

rsync -avPz -e ssh /cygdrive/g/coop/a-dat/tst/tst_90.ald \
  duckling:/cygdrive/e/exposed/kirn

yields:
 >>>
building file list ...
1 file to consider

wrote 89 bytes  read 20 bytes  31.14 bytes/sec
total size is 7438770  speedup is 68245.60
<<<

but the size of the resulting file is 7.438.826.
(rsync detects the difference and transfers the file again the next
time. and again. and again ...)

Both machines involved run cygwin with openssh-3.9p1-1 and
rsync 2.6.2-2, both /cygdrive's are mounted textmode ($CYGWIN also
contains nobinmode).

Downgrading to rsync 2.6.2-1 on the target machine resolves the problem.

viele Gruesse
