Hi,

there has been a discussion about Cygwin hangs last December/January. I 
think the problem is still alive. I tested with the current snapshot of 
cygwin dll (2006-04-24). I can reproduce it with the short script 
attached on my WinXP (all patches applied via online update). The script 
generates a lot of random files on the server side (here on localhost) 
and rsyns them to the client side (here same machine).

For the script to run, a sshd has to started on the local machine and 
the user name has to be adapted within the script. Could some of you 
please run the script twice (the error only occurs when the files 
already exist on the client side) in order to see if the script also hangs?

Peter
